Intrinsic Red Blend 2021 presents a bold and intriguing profile, beginning with a vibrant nose of black cherry, plum, and raspberry, interwoven with aromatic hints of leather, tobacco, and a touch of violet. On the palate, this blend is robust and full-bodied, offering a seamless integration of its diverse varietals. The mid-palate reveals layers of dark chocolate, espresso, and black pepper, underscored by a savory minerality that adds depth and complexity. Silky tannins and a well-balanced acidity contribute to a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit and subtle spice.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 91:
A spicy, herbaceous aroma leads to very ripe flavors like dried cherries and blackberries in this mouth-filling, broadly tannic wine. Blended from 57% malbec, 29% cabernet franc and 14% cabernet sauvignon.
