Justin Savant Paso Robles 2020 750 ML

Bright with a purple-ruby core that lightens at the rim, with thick, heavy moderately stained tears on the glass. Aromatic with ripe plum, fresh mission fig, black currant fruit, vanilla, tobacco leaf, dried violet flower, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus bark, and oak. Full-bodied with very ripe black and blue fruits on entry. Boysenberry, blackberry, and black cherry lead to a midpalate that is robust, with savory elements of black olive, cured meat, dried sage, and autumn leaves, surrounded by balanced moderate-plus tannins. The long finish is highlighted by persistent fruit with vanilla, baking spice, black tea, and toasted oak appearing as the finish lingers.\n\nThe 2020 Savant is a mouth-filling, bold wine with a balanced combination of ripe fruit and savory elements which will pair well with dishes like grilled hanger steak with chimichurri sauce, game meats such as venison and wild boar, or grilled salmon.
