Aravina Estate Wildwood Ridge Reserve Stella BDX 2022

As the name suggests this is a Bordeaux blend of the main fie varieties of that region. There is power here. It’s evident on the nose which displays an intensity of dark fruits, lifted by an ethereal violet and red berry nuance before slight meaty characters emerge. The palate is firmly structured with a firmish tread of tannin and fine-grained oak. This has been built for the long haul.
