description: Red Willow was the launch pad for many viticultural experiments. The wines are usually released a little later than most, and reward breathing and cellaring. The relative lightness of the fruit is compensated for by the textural layering of leaf, berry, barrel and tannin. This new vintage feels a bit softer than most, but the mix of berries, pomegranate and citrus remains, with the new oak lightly applied. The addition of 10% Malbec deepens the color and adds some peppery spice.
