2024 Counoise - 99 Pts

Region:  El Dorado

 

Vivid and untamed, this double gold medal-winning Counoise from El Dorado’s rugged terrain pulses with energy. Honored as "Best Micro Red in the State" and awarded 99 points, it delivers wild red berries, think crushed berry and red currant, blended with earthy sage and rocky dust. Its bright, electric acidity slices through, offering tension and lift. The finish is brisk, slightly wild, with a flicker of black pepper and stony resolve. Not a polite wine; a celebrated, spirited one.
