2023 Dara

Dara (means second in Irish)

[Snake River Valley, ID  |  300 Cases]

Red Blend-67% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Franc

TASTING NOTES: Medium ruby in the glass, with violets and dark chocolate leading into red cherry, red plum, and blackberry. A savory thread of thyme, clove, and Chinese five spice runs underneath, with white pepper and a squeeze of cranberry keeping it bright. Medium-plus acidity and fine-grained tannins give it real length — it drinks beautifully now and will reward a few years in the cellar.
