Collector alert! For all you cult wine keepers, here is a wine to add to your cellar that will outperform wines at three times the price. One of my favorite vineyard sources again shows why its fruit is so sought after. It’s rich, round, supple and bursting with everything you’d expect it to, including Morisoli’s distinctive earthy notes, which settle nicely into a supporting roll under the lush fruit, spice and light dried herb character. We talk about finish a lot in wine writing, but I’m not sure this wine ever finishes. Absolutely riveting. A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Monterey International Wine Competition.
