The 2022 Perricone Core lifts from the glass with an earthy blend of grilled herbs, blackberries and exotic spices. It's silky-smooth and deeply textural, with a rich blend of ripe red and black fruits motivated by vibrant acidity. The 2022 cleans up beautifully, finishing long and staining yet fresh. A coating of fine tannins remains, framing the experience remarkably well. This is a total pleasure to taste.

A fragrant potpourri of dried herb, floral and warm spice notes laces the core of ripe black plum, cherry and white peach flavors in this balanced, light- to medium-bodied red. Fine, dusty tannins trim the finish.
