Don’t shy away from this just because it carries a macro appellation — it is the real deal, and it showcases the art of blending fruit from different sites. Beautiful cherry/ripe strawberry nose, delivered on palate in a simple, bright style that’s a total pleasure to drink. Silky texture from beginning to end, with dashes of herbs and toasty oak coming forward in the finish where a kiss of acidity keeps the fruit bright. Another fine 2021!
