North Coast Proprietary Red Wine
2022
Brooding, yet fresh. With black and blue fruits galore, tied down by red cherry-like acidity and fine, silky tannins. Underneath it all, there is a hint of milk chocolate, a coffee bean-energy, and a raspberry drive. This drive belies the layers; polished yes, but complex and oozing potential. Long, perfumed, youthful, & decant.40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Zinfandel, 25% MerlotThere is Hope for Us Yet...
