Description:
Red Wine by Ancien Wines from Central Coast, California. Generously fruit forward and bold in its youth, the rambunctiousness of this wine is enjoyable to drink now with plenty of life to give for years down the line. The nose greets with rich notes of black cherry, blackberry, wet slate, and blood orange. Intense fresh fruits lead the palate, and the focus settles on ripe flavors of blackberry, cassis, and currants spiced with peppercorn, and tobacco notes. The firm, velvety and mouth filling tannins emphasize structure, while ever present acidity balances and brightens. The spicy aromatics and flavors continue through the long finish. Cellaring this wine for a decade or beyond will reveal a silky texture hidden beneath layers of relatively powerful tannins that dominate its early years.
