2018 Rabicano, Deux Chevaux Vineyard
The initial aromatic impression of the Deux Chevaux Vineyard Rabicano is of black and red raspberry, lingonberry jam, and chocolate ganache with a touch of thyme. The aromatics pair perfectly with a taste of macerated dark cherry, raspberry, clove, cinnamon, and vanilla. The finish delivers broad, chewy tannins that are offset by the fresh fruit and natural acidity of this wine.
