Saracina Vineyards Soul of Mendocino Red 2021

Showing off a light-absorbing, inky-purple color in the glass, Soul of Mendocino is redolent with aromas of black plum and savory herb, which follow on to a dense, bramble-berry palate edged with subtle spice. The opulent fruit characters are beautifully balanced by velvety tannins and a streak of lively acidity.

Equally brilliant on a Wednesday night at the counter with a perfect BLT as it would be on a Saturday evening alongside an elevated mixed grill and roasted root vegetables.
