This wine offers fragrant aromas of raspberry coulis, ripe red plum, juicy strawberry, and subtle baking spices, with a medium-bodied palate that highlights sun-drenched dried cranberry, delicate Alpine strawberries, and a harmonious balance of sweet and tart cherries, culminating in a lingering and memorable finish, making it an excellent pairing for brined turkey.
TASTING NOTES:
A return to higher whole-cluster inclusion and a greater proportion of Clone 828 in the blend, coupled with lower yields, defines this vintage, which followed the very dry and hot 2020 season. Lifted white pepper spice leads into cranberry and cherry fruit, delivered with elegance and fine, satiny tannins. Orange peel and dried herb nuances emerge on a building medium-bodied palate, carried by beautifully juicy acidity through the long, persistent finish.
