gradually unfurling into toasted fruit bread

minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit

impeccably ripe and with a paradoxical mix of presence and restraint

blueberries and cherries

2021 Brancaia Ilatraia Red Blend Tuscany Willamette Valley Vineyards 94 Pts Wine SpectatorThis wine strides forward with an extremely herbaceous nose, from oregano to thyme to tomato leaf. It also conveys the peppery savoriness of capsicum plus the depth of newly turned soil and a final pop of sour cherries. The palate continues the theme, with more peppers and cherries, but also sundried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Polished and consistent tannins make for a fun but slick balance of savory and sweet. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
