Ink Grade Andosol 2018

2018 VINTAGE HIGHLIGHTS
“The Andosol contains floral aromas including lilacs and roses, with ripe black cherries and
strawberries and a note of pink peppercorn that lingers on the palate. The volcanic soils offer a
distinctive iron and tar aromatic flavor married with the fine tannin and acid tension, expressing
a profile akin to a cru Barolo.”
― Master Sommelier and Managing Partner Carlton McCoy Jr., May 2022
