2017 Skipstone Faultline Vineyard
$225
Deep purple-black colored, it comes wafting out of the glass with a beautiful perfume of rose hip tea, dried lavender, kirsch, raspberry leaves and red currants with a core of blackberries and black cherries plus a touch of garrigue. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers wonderful poise and grace with lively red and black fruit layers and a firm frame of fine-grained tannins, finishing long and perfumed. With 4 years of bottle age today, this wine has blossomed into a beautifully pure and giving wine in the glass. Best 2022-2032. Enjoy today with a brief decant. 57% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon
