Paul Lato 2013 Late-Harvest Grenache “Kiss Me Again”, Bien Nacido Vineyard, Santa Maria Valley 500ml

NVWE Notes: This lovely, decidedly feminine dessert wine shows little suggestion of sweetness in its aromas, as scents of fresh red rose, strawberry, grenadine, raspberry coulis, red plum crisp, pink and white peppercorn, clove, Schezuan pepper, coriander and anise achieve graceful harmony. Sweetness is apparent on the palate, yet its impact seems to fade away as bright red fruits, floral hints and savory spice notes bring both zest and textural gentility. Soft-edged, lingering and focused, the flavors ripple-out as a melange of strawberry, red plum, grenadine, Panetone. nectarine chutney, orange peel tea, dried golden mulberry, tahini, licorice root, candied lemon peel and crystalized ginger. A virtual opposite of the more powerful, Syrah dominated 2012, this beauty could be fully ready sooner than its sibling. 51 cases produced
