What a difference a year can make! The 2018 version of this wine improves on the previous vintage (no slouch, by the way) with lively acidity, cherry and blueberry fruit and moderate oak toast. It is a solid food wine with great finish push of dried herb and brown spice. You will love this as you carry the holiday feasting across the change of the calendar. Kudos to winemaker Joe Wright for celebrating vintage variation.
