A nose that is one of the great announcements of location in the wine world lets you know what you’re dealing with right off, with lively green pepper joined by red and black fruit. On the palate, the pepper is reined in so much so that it presents as pleasant white and black pepper that complement the fruit and are seated in the mouth by a properly chalky tannic structure. The finish will keep you coming back for more — as will the price.
