Skinner 2012 Eighteen Sixty-One Red (El Dorado)

Country: US / California
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend

This wine gives a big bear hug with aromas like wild berries and black pepper. Then sweet oak and rich, savory plum flavors emerge on the palate as the ripeness comes through. The finish is long and reverberates with the nutmeg spiciness of perfectly seasoned barrels.
