This single vineyard “wow barrel” (self-described by the winery) is taken from a short-crop vintage where only 5 barrels were made, in total … it spent 20 months in French oak and shows a rich and fruity nature with smoky undertones, a hint of spice and leather, good acid backing and a strawberry-balsamic finish. Not “wow” but certainly very tasty … really very tasty. Price: $50.00 – Rating: ****+
