a wonderfully tender hint of damask rose swirls into the nose, followed by a smoky, grounding earthiness. the palate plays with that rose flavor and adds a touch of peach and tangy citrus zest. the palate stays on the off-dry site and focuses on zesty spice and a wonderfully textured phenolic edge. it masters a wonderful high-wire act between richness and zesty vigor. the wine is beautiful, full-flavored and exciting with a long just-off-dry finish. drink 2017–2027.
