This wine offers an exhilarating cross between a mint bush and Vic’s Vapor Rub on the nose, joined by tones of blackberry syrup and patisserie. The entry is easygoing and fruit forward, while the midpalate is impressively poised between invigorating acidity and dusty, grippy tannins. The medium fruit-filled finish feels vaguely warm, but the overall balance is spot on. This is crushable juice, with compelling texture and good complexity. Drink now–2022.
