The 2022 Ardore offers an impressive spectrum of bold aromas that reveal layers of ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, and dark plums. These luscious fruits are beautifully interwoven with notes of tobacco, crushed rocks, and chocolate, while hints of sandalwood, grilled nuts, and graphite add further depth and complexity.
On the palate, juicy black and purple fruit cascades across the tongue, enveloping the senses with luxurious richness and remarkable concentration. The wine boasts abundant yet silky tannins, creating a seamless harmony of balance and finesse.
Crafted from Coombsville fruit and aged in 85% new French oak, the 2022 Ardore is made from just 10 exclusive barrels and remains unfined and unfiltered to preserve its pure, powerful character. A truly exceptional wine, it promises to evolve beautifully over the next two decades.
