| Flavor | Dense, supple tannins bouy up bright flavors of marmalade, currant jam, marmite, crystal ginger, pancetta, and christmas spice. | ||
| Balance | May be alcohol driven, but harmonious. | ||
| PRODUCTION CORRELATIONS | |||
| Terroir | Varies tremendously. Many of the best wines blend terroir influences, but single vineyards outside approved appellations also appear in this category. | ||
