Ledge - James Berry Vineyard 2017 (750ml) ValdepeñasDeep, brilliant ruby. Powerful, smoke and spice tinged cherry and blueberry compote aromas show superb clarity, and exotic incense and potpourri nuances emerge as the wine opens up. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering concentrated yet lively red blue fruit, spice cake and floral pastille flavors that slowly turn sweeter through the back half. Shows superb energy on the wonderfully long, finely etched finish, which is framed by steadily building,

herbs and spices carefully selected from the finest terroirs in the world

harmonic with hints of ripe fruits

framed by dusty tannins that linger easily on the long

so the wines have an added level of gravelly minerality to complement the opulence of the merlot

The color is very dark early in the fermentation

V91 Vinous Bright ruby with a strong mousse of small bubbles

This is really superb with beautiful density and ripe tannin texture

Medium-bodied with soft bubbles and bright acidity

Fruit for this wine is sourced from very low-yielding

It is rare

On several levels

with a beautiful oolong sensibility
