2023 Brave & Bold Red
$42.00
Brave & Bold Red
Varietal: Red Blend
Tasting Notes:
Blackberry brambles, black tea, mint and spice waft out of the glass. The rich mouthfeel brings more flavors of blackberry and spice, silky tannins and a firm, acidic backbone. Waves of oak spice and cedar round out the long, fruity finish.

A warm and dry summer allowed the grapes to catch up, and late summer heat allowed even ripening. The lower yields brought on by early weather challenges led to a high quality vintage, with excellent flavor concentration and balance. |
