Nose
This viscerally thrilling wine explodes with aromas of olive tapenade, white pepper, violets, blackberry, and smoked paprika.
Palate
Intensely mysterious flavors of açai berry, seared meats, walnuts and pomegranate lead you to believe that the wine will be rustic and backwards, but the palate is suspenseful, with a refined and linear texture that evolves to a round, supple and incredibly long finish. This vintage of Dirt Worshipper is a tour de force for us at Denner, we couldn’t be prouder to share it with you.
