Denner Vineyards The Ditch Digger Paso Robles 2019 750ml

96 points Vinous

Shimmering ruby-red. Assertively perfumed aromas of fresh red berries, cherry, blood orange, exotic spices and candied flowers are accompanied by a smoky mineral nuance that builds with air. Smooth and seamless in texture, offering vibrant raspberry, black cherry, spicecake and candied lavender flavors that convey a suave marriage of power and delicacy. Closes smooth, gently tannic and extremely long, leaving sappy red fruit, orange pith and floral pastille notes behind. Made with 25% whole clusters and raised in neutral oak barrels and concrete tanks.
