“The Terra Nuema is sourced from low-yielding, biodynamic Sonoma Coast vineyards farmed by Benziger winery and exhibits cherry, raspberry and plum aromas with earth, spice and leafy notes. Aged in 60% French oak for 16 months, it displays an inviting palate of ripe and concentrated flavors of black cherry with a dusting of cocoa, youthful acidity and tannic grip on a long finish. Tight now, this wine should evolve nicely in the bottle.”
