John Duval Plexus Red 2018

This is a blend of 47% shiraz, 34% grenache and 17% mourvedre with a gently earthy edge to the dark plums and blackberries, as well as blueberries and spicy, dry pepper. The palate has a supple and flavorful core of red and dark fruit. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

A mélange of comforting aromas float from the glass: chocolate, plum, cherry, baking spice, cedar and graphite. The palate is full in feel, yet chiseled, with silky fruit and a cedary spice that flows to the finish.
