Aridus, Arizona (United States) Graciano 2019

I will confess to not having tasted a great number of Graciano bottlings, but the few in my recollection inventory show this to be a fine example.  It is juicy and full bodied, with notes of wilting rose, plum, mulling spice and medium plus oak toast.  A moderate grip in the finish props up good integration of flavors.  It’s a natural for grilled burgers or seared steaks.  Contains 1% Petit Verdot.
