13.8% alc., $65. Harvest Brix 23.8º. Spontaneous wild yeast fermentation with no inoculations. Aged in mixed oak cooperage, 30% new. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Reserved but pleasant aroma of red fruit leather. More fruit-forward then the 2016 vintage with charming fruit flavors of cherry and strawberry. There is a pleasing savory side to the wine with fruit and savory nuances mingling nicely. this is a poised wine with admirable elegance and a very long finish. redolent with red fruits. Score: 93.
