Ruffino - Alàuda 2018 (750ml) Yamhill-Carlton District later-picked parts of the TorreDeep red with hints of violet. Intense ripe red fruit with complex secondary balsamic aromas. The Merlot yields ripe cherry and plum, while Cabernet Franc gives herbal, smoky and spiced notes, while the Colorino lends balsamic overtones. The ageing adds depth to the blend, bestowing gentle spices and elegant tannins. Alauda is an enduring wine with an impressive body. This wine will age gracefully for decades.
