Note di degustazione
Moving to the wines from bottle, the 2017 Asterisk offers a dense purple hue as well as a sweet nose of crème de cassis, mulberries, brambly herbs, chocolate, and toasted spices. Fruit-forward and charming, it still has ample mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and beautiful balance. I don't think it's going to make terribly old bones, but it's going to drink beautifully for at least 15-20 years.

The 2017 Asterisk is a soft, easygoing wine that will drink well right out of the gate. The 2017 naturally doesn’t have the richness that is typical here, but it does offer terrific balance. In this vintage, Aasterisk has more of a red-toned fruit profile that matches its mid-weight feel quite nicely. (AG)
The 2017 Asterisk has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and expressive notes of baked plums, blackberry compote and red currant jelly with hints of potpourri, oolong tea, tapenade and truffles. The medium-bodied palate offers mouth-coating black and red fruit preserves with a velvety texture and lovely freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.
Plum with some mushroom, bark and cedar on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with polished, firm tannins and a delicious, juicy finish.
