Paumanok 2013 Assemblage Red (North Fork of Long Island)

Country: US / New York
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Paumanok / Assemblage

Decadent yet finessed, this intensely ripe, concentrated wine brims with fleshy flavors of black plum and cassis. Tart cranberry acidity and complexities of olive, savory spice and granite push the palate into greater depths. The finish is long, marked by fine firm tannins. It’s lovely already, but should meld beautifully from 2020–2030 and further.
