The balance achieved in this wine is remarkable considering its listed 16.6% alcohol content. Just a trace of heat shows under a peppery mélange of briary fruit, and it serves more to cream up the texture than distract by fire. Long, lusty and delicious! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
