Element Winery ‘The Element’ 2019 Review

Red wine from the Finger Lakes often presents on the leaner side due to the region’s very cool climate. Although many winemakers attain it, it’s a challenge to get depth into wines. This wine is a great example of how this balance can be achieved. It offers blackberries, purple flowers, and earth with a touch of oak on the nose. The leanness on the palate is matched by a nice, comfy tannic grip around the edges and a solid core of fruit. A powerful red wine from a cool climate.
