Starfield Vineyards El Dorado Conouise 2023, California
Reddish in color with light intensity.
Fruity nose of fresh picked strawberries, cherries, raspberries, spices and light herbs.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with bing cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, bitter vegetables and earth notes.
Short finish with soft tannins and bitter herbs.
This is such an interesting red wine from California. Feels like a very light Southern Rhone red. Fruit forward and elegant. Nicely balanced with mild complexity.
Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up.
Easy drinking, and good by itself or with food. A nice wine to pair with a nice day by the pool.
A blend of 95% Counoise and 5% Grenache. Aged for 18 months in (24% new) French oak barrels. A tiny production of less than 1,200 bottles.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$38.
