Walla Walla Vintners Cut Bank Estate Vottavo (2021)
Wine Tasting Notes
The 2021 Vottavo opens with an exuberant burst of candied cherry and plum, lifted by lavender, black walnut and rosemary. The palate layers blue fruit, dried purple flowers and subtle notes of roasted tomato and dusty earth. Plush and mouthfilling, it builds to chewy tannins and a bright finish, and should evolve for two decades.
