2022 Stolpman Vineyards La Cuadrilla Red Blend Ballard Canyon 750ML

2022 Stolpman Vineyards La Cuadrilla Red Blend Ballard Canyon 750ML Soft and becoming deep purple plum brimmed with a crackling flame of red. A coating plushness fills the mouth prior to lifted fresh red fruits rising again towards the finish. The red fruits fill a spectrum from firm cherry to riper berry coulis. Subtle acidity married with the red berry fruit and loamy, silky tannin all combine to last in the mouth for minutes in a delicately balanced, feathered finish.

Offers slowly unfurling scents of wild berries, tar, turned earth and wildflowers. The palate is bright and silky, with spicy, earthy fruit and a long, perfumed finish.

Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, tobacco and cedar give this light-bodied wine lovely aromatic presence. All the elements are very nicely balanced.
