WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Macerated cherries, strawberry reduction, sweet spice, spring flowers, plum tart, melted licorice, and fresh herbs. The palate has an exuberant, sweet approach, with a long, mineral-laced finish. Enjoy with: Smoked brisket with red wine reduction barbecue sauce.
TASTING NOTES:
A mix of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Graciano, and a few other varieties, the 2019 High On The Hog has lots of ripe plum, flowery incense, and pepper nuances as well as a medium to full-bodied style on the palate. It’s a pleasure-bent beauty to drink in its youth.
- Jeb Dunnuck, 91 pts.
Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 High on the Hog is scented of spicy blackberries, charcuterie, black plums and licorice. The medium-bodied palate is brighter and fresher than expected, with a long, spicy finish.
