Very deep garnet colored with a hint of purple, 2008 The Pict offers expressive notes of ripe mulberries, kirsch, dried plums, Ceylon tea, tobacco, spice cake and fertile earth. Full bodied, concentrated and firmly structured, it has a firm level of chewy tannins and racy acid supporting the generous fruit, finishing long. This vineyard clearly coped extraordinarily well with the heat-wave and produced a superb wine! Drink it now to 2020+. Importer: Wine Creek Cellars, Sonoma, CA.

Glints of persimmon and pomegranate add lightness to the stew of meaty and complex spicy flavors in this dark, brooding red, persisting on the long, polished finish. Mataro. Best from 2015 through 2020. 96 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa / Barossa Valley Select to Add
