2022 Sacred Burro

Enticing aromas of blackberry, lavender, Sichuan peppercorn and tamarind merge on the seductive nose. The lively palate opens with cherry, orange zest, and an explosion of umami flavors – notably porcini and nori. The midpalate starts robust with a supple texture that is quickly focused with a core of fruit flavors and precise acidity.
