Description
The 2020 Oakcross Red possesses tremendous depth and complexity that is revealed with time in the glass. On the nose, a surge of ripe blackberry, black plum, and cherry cola gives way to intriguing earthy/savory undertones: forest floor, cedar, Earl Grey tea, and wet clay. The rich palate is lifted and energetic, with a drive of juicy black raspberry, blackberry, and red currant beautifully framed by fine-grained tannins. Black fruits echo through the finish with hints of warm baking spice and chalkboard minerality. — Director of Winegrowing Ted Henry
