2022 Claude’s Cuvée
$85
The 2022 Claude's Cuvée opens with aromatics of ripe blueberry, forest berries, and crushed shale, accented by a hint of ground nutmeg. The palate reveals blue and black fruits that are elegantly layered with fine tannins. These tannins build gracefully, enhancing the wine's structure without overpowering its vibrant character. The Graciano shines through with its characteristic juicy acidity, leading to a long, satisfying finish, with notes of warm baking spices.
