Now over 25 years old, this wine has evolved into something truly special — broad and complex, with ripe black fruit and citrus peel on the nose, a solid, satisfying mouthfeel, and an attractively marinated finish offering hints of soy sauce, molasses, and sea salt.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
