Golden Grove Durif 2018

Here winemaker Ray Costanzo has fashioned a ballsy red - it spends 14 months in American oak hogsheads, 25% new - shot with a mix of red and blue fruit on the nose. The palate gutsy with softening fruit aspects and - somewhat surprisingly - a freshening acidic presence, no mean feat when the wine’s clocking in at 15% alcohol.
I actually enjoyed this just simply paired with some rather dark chocolate, but it has enough about it to marry up to a nice wintry stew, something like an osso bucco, with its fine tannins able to lap up protein. 91
