Vanessa Vineyard 2020 Meritage 750ml

Deep red-red garnet. Nice nose here, gravelly, graphite, fresh earth, dried violets and ripe black fruit - smells authentic. Lovely palate, still grippy but coming around, with balanced-creamy acids and good to very good length. Hanging on nicely, in fact needs another year or two at least. High quality oak.
