Lunatic Red 2018

Wine with a clear, medium red hue, accompanied by a subtle, leather-like aroma. The tongue is described by a one-dimensional flavor profile, with a relatively short and uneventful finish.

Rich, intense wine with a bold, jammy character that still manages to convey a considerable amount of acidity. Although it has barely had a chance to mature, it exhibits a deep, deep color with a medium-ruby rim and a multitude of tiny, thin legs. The nose is driven by by dark fruit, tobacco, and brown sugar, with a subtle hint of leather and cigar box. Upon opening, the wine reveals a evolved black fruit profile, with blackberry and cassis taking center stage, accompanied by a rich, polished structure and a sharp, tannic finish. The all around memory is one of intensity and complexity, with a lingering sense of warmth and spice.

Nuanced harmony between soft smoothness and bracing crispness. Viognier stands out, highlighting a unique tropical fruit note profile.
