A wine that juxtaposes lusciousness with balance. Really fine. Is it the 125-yr. old vines (that's not a typo) or great winemaking? Probably both. Get some.Dark black ruby with violet highlights. Nose of perfectly ripe dark berries, along with notes of dark liquid minerals, fresh parsley and sandalwood. Mouthfilling and mouthcoating rich fruit, primarily dark, ripe, iodine-laced blackberry extract. Gobs of very soft tannin give great structure, and the wine has depth yet is not heavy. Decent acids, and a long finish. Just a joy to drink. A. Was $19.99 from WineAccess.com.
