It
has been a treat watching these estate vines mature since they were planted in
2014. It only adds to the anticipation
of sipping the wine from that labor of love. This 2017 red blend of 43%
Alicante Bouschet, 27% Tannat, 17% Touriga National, 13% Tinta Cao certainly
expresses the quality of the estate fruit and great winemaking skills of this
talented young team. Upon the first
pour, those bright fruit aromas are quite inviting along with a touch of black
pepper. After a sip or two, bright acids enveloped every aspect of your mouth
followed by cacao and spices. The blend is quite well balanced, and the lingering
finish is equally enticing. Step up and be bold, this is a rare jewel to behold
and enjoy. Cheers!
