Top Notes For

8.8

Drinking pretty well right now. The fruit character is soft and pretty. Candied red cherries and currants, cocoa, violet, dried porchini, pine. A little funk, a little spice, a real pleasant astringency that adds a great layer and mineral note. I like this wine because it has a bit of everything. Texture carries more weight mainly to 14.2% abv.

Great wine for the money. Nice structure, ripe cherry, some mushroom, reasonable alcohol. Perfect with my salmon.
