2017 Muret-Gaston Rouge
Aromas of black berry, currant, violets and rose petal lead through the finish with flavors of boysenberry, plum and dried fruits surrounded by fine gained tannis.
Blackberry, cassis and black currant aromas carry through the long finish on fine grained tannins. This wine will age well but is very approachable now.

91 Points International Wine Report
“Sourced from the Yakima Valley, this begins with aromas of black olive tapenade, milk chocolate and wild blackberry preserves. The palate is round and generous revealing wonderful dark fruit flavors that connect with the mineral edge. Drink 2018-2024.
