WineSaint
Crushed roses, red currant and iron minerality flow with impressive grace. The 2021 shows San Lorenzo's power filtered through a lens of refinement. Chalky tannins provide backbone without overwhelming the wine's ethereal fruit. Mint and citrus zest accent the long, saline finish. Built for the cellar but approachable sooner than typical. Drink 2026-2042.
