Bold and dark red in appearance, this savory wine is hard to resist, thanks to its subtle viscosity, dusty yet broad-grained tannins and tantalizing acidity. A sassy flavor combination of grilled meat, fresh truffle, black cherry and elderberry keep the sipper enticed. Stylish and sensuous, with noticeable layers of complexity, the medium-length finish introduces nuances of ganache and burning bonfire. This is a well-knit wine that, though youthful, is drinking extremely well now. Drink now–2022.
