Dogwood & Thistle Testa Vineyard Carignan 2019 Review

Baker’s chocolate and cherry cream with a waft of soil are the smells that greet you here. The palate is balanced so damn well, with a concentrated deep fruit core that is pierced by great natural acidity. Did I mention this wine was balanced? Chill this wine for an amazing experience.
