Pingus PSI 2017

Dark and brooding in the glass, with a nose that opens on smoked black cherry, dried violet, and a dusting of cracked pepper — classic PSI territory. Bitter cherry and blackberry dominate the mouth, shot through with a floral thread that grows more insistent toward the finish. The tannins are softly chewy, lending the wine a supple, giving texture that makes it easy to approach now without feeling like it's giving everything away. That floral lift stays with you well after the wine is gone — the defining mark of this bottling at its finest.
