$64, 3 stars, 91 points, california, livermore, souzao, tempranillo, touriga
Nearly black and definitely opaque in the glass, this wine promises to be a brooding monster. On the nose I get charcoal, iodine, black cherry, olive and bacon fat. On the palate this is such an atypical wine- intriguing. Twizzler meets black currants and Rooibos tea. Delightful tannins and great mouthfeel. It’s got a long finish that keeps on giving. I’m actually at a loss for descriptors on this unique blend. It’s not everyone’s cup of vino but it is well made, tasty and worthy of a try. 91 points for this blend of 45% Touriga, 35% Tempranillo, 20% Souzao make it a 3 star effort at $64. Drink with charcuterie, steak and wild boar until 2028. Salut….
