Hourglass HGIII Napa Valley 2018

If there is a pure expression of hedonism, this new 2018 vintage is IT (again). This brand new release already leaps out of the gate with explosive aromatics of blueberries, black cherry, and espresso beans. Lush and silky textured on the palate, it delivers wave after wave of red and black berries, toasted nuts, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and a wonderfully persistent finish. This is ready to go right now and will continue to offer ample pleasure through 2025+.
