Corliss Estate Red (2012)

A deeply layered nose offering strikingly delineated aromas of blackberry, dried redcurrant and cassis, with lifted herbaceous notes of mint, bay leaf and thyme. The wine is powerfully textured on entry, showing an array of wild, dark berry fruits, and deep underlying flavors of sage, cured meats and blackened earth. Sweet, sappy tannins meld with a firm, graphite-like minerality to provide excellent length and a wonderfully youthful energy that promises long-term aging potential.
