Top Notes For

This is the Mount Veeder “GSC”.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2021 pours a deep ruby with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Bing cherries and mixed brambles along with red flowers, red rope licorice, and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A more interesting (to me) offering from Chateau Potelle. Drink now through 2036.
