Another great release from Big Basin. This dark red and black fruited beauty has everything that like in wines from the Northern Rhone. A heady nose that is pretty with flowers and lush with ripe raspberry and cassis fruit. There is a very fine underlay of roasted meats. It’s a pleasure just to smell it! On the palate, the complexity stands out with big dark red fruit that is lightly crunchy. In addition, there are some baking spices and a very faint flavor of white pepper. None of its deliciousness is muddied up with a bunch of oak. It is pure and extremely tasty.
