Big and inviting, the 2016 Coeur de Vigne flashes hints of Bing cherry and cocoa powder. There is a brightness and focus that carries all the way to the finish, but the sweetness of fruit and a slight savory character gives the wine weight and density. The tannins are refined and rounded, yet still present, so the structure is clear. The wine is approachable now with its velvety texture, but as time goes on the Coeur de Vigne will transform into the ultimate sense of luxury!
