2017 VANDELLA MIRAMIS PROPRIETARY RED Winery Notes "An absolutely superb vintage that showcases the very best of what this blend can offer. Blackberries, violets, anise and vanilla on the nose - you take a sip - the soft subtle weight of the wine immerses your palate in a velvety blanket of Japanese plum - but wait - once it hits the mid-palate it begins revealing layers upon layers of sculpted fruit and spice - and from there, it is an amazing ride to the finish: rustic, yet refined - fruity, yet restrained. The toasty oak is a defining factor, yet seamlessly integrated. The acid is racy and vibrant, the tannins chalky like cocoa powder. The finish is remarkably long and lingering. In conclusion, this is the most balanced and interesting wine Vandella has produced to date. (60% Mourvedre 20% Touriga 20% Syrah)"
