Hermoso Hermosa 2019 Vintners Reserve

The 2019 Hermoso Hermosa Vintners Reserve is a whopper of a wine sourced from Matchbook in Yolo County's Dunnigan Hills. This blend showcases the dominance of Petite Sirah, complemented by small percentages of Petit Verdot, Teroldego, and Malbec. In the glass, it displays a very dark color that hints at its depth and intensity. The nose is greeted with enticing aromas of blackberry and earth, setting the stage for what's to come. On the palate, the wine delivers imposing flavors that command attention, featuring scintillating notes of strawberry, black cherry, and earth. Despite its bold profile, the wine maintains a medium to full-bodied texture with well-integrated tannins. Aging in French, Hungarian, and American oak barrels adds complexity and a touch of spice.
