When you have the trio combo of Newsom Vineyards fruit, 2017, plus Ben Calais as the winemaker, there is nothing short of high expectations and the anticipation of great things to come. You certainly will not be disappointed with this vintage nor this lovely French Connection red wine. The deep garnet color and rich cherry aromas make an indelible positive initial impression. There is just a touch of truffle on the nose to tease your senses. You will also discern some raspberry and pepper notes, but those jammy flavors are just the bold bomb that shines thru on this lovely wine! It has a rich, smooth mouthfeel coupled with well-balanced acids and almost unnoticeable 14.9% alcohol. There is also great smokiness on the finish just in case you need some extra satisfaction. Keep an extra bottle on hand because this is one is worth enjoying more than once and making lasting memories with great bottles. Food and friends are what wine enjoyment is all about anyway. Santé!
