“Ribbon Springs always has such a lovely perfumed fragrance to it—like fresh raspberries, purple lilac, and cinnamon bark—and this vintage is classic Ribbon. There’s a burst of juicy fruit on the palate that’s wrapped with fine, satiny tannins. It’s so supple. The tannins frame the wine through the long, elegant finish.”
-Gina Hennen, Winemaker
