There’s a highly stemmy quality to this interesting wine from one of the appellation’s multi-generation families. The nose shows funky herbs, papilla chile and raspberry extract, leading into a very spicy, savory palate of marjoram, Indian spices and green olive laid across pungent cranberry fruits. It’s a winner for fans of stem inclusion.
