Raphael 2013 Primo Reserve Estate Bottled Red (North Fork of Long Island)

Country: US / New York
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Raphael / Primo Reserve Estate Bottled

Ripe, rich fruit and bold, mouth dampening tannins express the rugged muscularity of this wine. A blend of classic Bordeaux grape varieties, it highlights pristine black cherry and cassis against a backdrop of spice, cedar, barnyard and tobacco complexities. It needs a few years to ease off its brawniness, but should improve beautifully through at least 2023.
