WineSaint
Gorgeously expressive for Villero, trading the site's typical severity for surprising warmth and immediacy. Wild cherry and cedar mingle with pine resin and violet, while warming spices add depth without masking the wine's inherent refinement. The tannins are firm but approachable, suggesting this will reward both early drinking and patient cellaring through the next decade.
