approachable skin contact white wine
even sometimes a flash exotic
A lighter-bodied sparkler that saw 12 months en tirage
Aromas and flavors of fresh rose petal
Boysenberry and chrysanthemum-tea flavors are joined by a bit of orange peel
Craggy Range Te Kahu, Gimblett Gravels, New Zealand 2022 Zonin approachable skin contact white wineThis may be Merlot dominant, but the two Cab varieties make their mark via savory herbs and spice, graphite and toasted dark chocolate. There's plenty of appealing dark cherry and blackberry fruit notes here, too. A lovely lift of acidity, fine, savory tannins, violets and and tangy blue and blackberry fruit linger to a long finish. Elegant, expressive, well made and a bargain for the quality. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
