2013 Asuncion Ridge Vineyards Barrel Select

14.4% alc., 100 cases, $58. 50% free run juice from estate grown clones 777, 115 and Pommard 4 and 5. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Sustaining aromas of cherry coulis and oak vanillin. More attack and concentration, with a dark fruit profile framed by filigree tannins. Still a bit reticent and primary, yet showing great potential, with some length on the sappy-fruited finish. Score: 91. Reviewed June 18, 2016
