This wine has a fresh, forward nose that’s bursting with spearmint. Behind the fragrant green notes, there are touches of black plums and cassis. The attack is straightforward and fruit-driven, with abundant flavors of wild berries. Nuances of licorice and pencil lead further flavor the palate. While overall big and bold, it has terrific posture, with lightly sinewy tannins and uplifting acidity. Drink now–2020.
