the 2019 Besoleil is medium ruby in the glass with delightful floral expressions that waft with elements of potpourri, red and black peppercorn, spiced cherry and black raspberry. Medium-bodied, the palate is delineated, layered and complex, offering dusty red fruit flavors of dried cranberries, red plum skin and wild raspberry before a myriad of red spices parade across the mid-palate with succulent acidity and buttressing tannins. Concluding with a long, lingering finish, there is plenty of life in this wine. RP
A medium-to full-bodied red with aromas of red berries, plums, orange zest, flowers, black pepper and dried herbs. Fine-grained tannins frame layers of herbs and spiced fruit with some saline undertones. Fresh and delicious. JS
