Boisterously expressive, this wine has so much lush fruit and spice that it almost smells of mulled wine. It’s hedonistic in nature, with integrated, gentle tannins and caressing acidity on the attack that turns surprisingly dry on the medium finish. Given the forcefulness of the flavors, this wine doesn’t need to hang around long. However, the chewy and sustained finish suggests that it may have staying power. Drink now–2023.
