AXR – Proprietary 2021 – Napa Valley

The nose is fruity, fresh and offers a certain power and a certain hint of pepper. It reveals notes of quite ripe blackberry, small crushed fruits and small notes of small bright red fruits, as well as discreet hints of star anise, violet and a hint of crushed strawberry. The palate is well-built, supple, fresh and mineral and offers gourmandise, tension and precision. In mouth this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, brilliant raspberry and small notes of bright cherry, associated with touches of small fleshy black berries, tonka bean, infusion, licorice stick and vanilla. Tannins are mellow, sapid, suave and gourmand. Good length. Juicy, pure and gourmand wine.
