Tongue Dancer’s “The Sly One” is an aptly titled wine that sneaks up on you, seducing with aromas of black cherry, damp earth and a little hint of mint. A rich texture helps the translation to flavors, and edgy but balanced acidity gives great finish push with sexy oak spice forward. Sly indeed! From Anderson Valley’s “Deep End” — a location worthy of wider recognition.
