Wine Details
Price:
$40.00 per bottle
Description:
The low yield and warm harvest of 2004 perfectly suited the old vines at Morelli. In this cool area the zin loves the heat, which promoted great tannin ripeness and rewarded us with a wine of particular lushness, even for this vineyard. Raspberries, blueberries and cream jump out of the glass as soon as you pour the wine. It’s remarkable that something so fresh and vivid comes from vines so old and gnarled. With time in the glass, the deep black cherry, bramble and floral notes emerge. In the mouth it offers a rare freshness and suppleness for the varietal, along with plush berry fruit and a touch of bramble and bittersweet chocolate. Its bright fruit carries through to the finish, thanks to the moderate alcohol and lively acidity. Wonderfully easy to drink, it’s perfect with everything from a steak off the barbecue and roasted poultry to grilled swordfish and assertive cheeses.
