TASTING NOTES:
“Some smoky nuances with an array of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry aromas and flavors in a deliciously fleshy style. A blend of grenache, mataro and shiraz.”

“This vintage takes its time delivering the goods. At first it’s reductive, with odd stalky notes and a flat palate. But give this time in decanter or glass and it morphs into a sleek and elegant wine, full of blueberries, florals and pepper. Slightly showy vanillin and mocha oak are there too, and as the wine knits together, a baseline of earthy spices like cumin makes itself known. The palate is equally spiced, with toned muscular tannins and dried herbs etched into the finish. Drink now.”
