Purlieu Teucer Vineyard 2018

The 2018 offering from Teucer Vineyard presents a richly fruited and charismatic model of volcanic Coombsville terroir. The nose delivers the site’s signature black fruit aromas with notes of freshly turned earth, but the palate surges into a dense core of juicy blue, purple and black fruits with wonderful sucrosity. Gentle notes of sumac and volcanic minerality balance the berries with natural acidity, and powerful, polished tannins guide the lingering finish of crushed blackberries, plum and warm wood spice.
