bold and flavorful without feeling overtly ripe or sweet, this wine has a lot to say. it's complex and spicy, smelling of cardamom, nutmeg and rosemary—a possible result of its 25% whole-cluster fermentation. red cherry, rhubarb and pomegranate flavors are bracing and fresh, while the texture is firm and moderately tannic. it's cellarable and will be best after 2018.
