Drinking Window: 2017 - 2018
30 to 50 year old vines have produced a wine with an inviting, expressive, slightly peppery nose. A medium-weight style, it has freshness and aromatic detail, with gently saline tannins and bright acidity riding in on the finish. This would make a great house wine, at home or in a restaurant. Well balanced and satisfying.
