Started to not open this tonight because it is very much a baby. This is a very good wine. I did not use the Burgundy glasses tonight so I may have fooled my wife but she was confused about what she was drinking. Medium ruby in color. A somewhat subdued nose of raspberry, baking spices and earthiness. On the palate there are interesting flavors of raspberries, red currants, cinnamon, and a slight hint of mint. Beautifully balanced with great acidity and virtually no tannins. The finish gives you a hint of the marine influence this wine gets from where the vineyard is located. Really jamming on this while “staying home” while we kick this pandemic. Stay safe. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face!!!!🍷🍷🍷🍷
