Date: Friday, December 31, 2021Hints of smoked hazelnuts and gun flint introduce this richly concentrated, supple wine. Matured in a combination of 35% oak and 65% stainless steel, it's full bodied and unctuous, bolstered by a pulsating core of ripe yellow cherry and apricot flavors. Anchored by steel and a vibrant acidic edge, the wine should drink beautifully through 2040. -
