The 2019 Keplinger Eldorado is a masterclass in balance and depth, showcasing the rugged elegance of its Sierra Foothills terroir. In the glass, it reveals a deep garnet hue, with an aromatic bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and a hint of wild sage. On the palate, it unfolds with layers of ripe plum and dark chocolate, underscored by finely grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries through to a lingering finish. This wine exemplifies the finesse and power of a well-crafted Rhône blend, promising both immediate pleasure and potential for graceful aging.
