marzipan and a salty minerality from the slate

boysenberry and blueberries meet the nose

a wine of uncommon complexity and longevity

and other game birds along with seared steak and veal

Vilafonte Seriously Old Dirt 2014 hashval_412F8391D70F0E84EA7618239B4A9F138B0B6579 violets and crushed stone openThis is the 3rd vintage release of Seriously Old Dirt. It is a deep red to black color wine, with an intensely vibrant rim. Blackberries, currants, and dried flowers bring great lift to the fruit profile of the wine. Secondary, black cherries, saffron and balsamic flavors contribute to the well rounded bouquet. The palate is soft and luxurious with a pleasing and energetic acidity that offers great length.
