Horse Heaven Hills - McKinley Springs
Released 2/1/20 ・ 122 Cases ・ 14.5% ALC
Bold aromas of black cherry, blackberries, mocha, and black pepper, followed by silky flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate, coffee, and hints of pencil lead. The palate is weighty and smooth with dusty tannins and a long finish that reminds us of dark chocolate-covered cherries or cherry-filled pastry with a cup of rich coffee. We recommend cellaring this wine for a few years.
