The 2018 vintage shows the characteristic cranberry/strawberry red fruit with a tinge of licorice. In the underside of this beautiful garnet wine is the tell tale earthiness and spice that "dirties up" the lovely red fruit. The mouthfeel is elegant with a satin texture that carries long with just enough acid and tannin for proper structure. While the 2018 is drinking beautifully now, it will age for 10+ years like other RRV of the past.
