The aromas of the 2021 Foothills are snappy and alive, with red and black fruits, subtle dried herbs, and bright summer berries. It is medium bodied with soft tannins and vibrant acidity, bringing more to the table than would be expected of its price tag. The flavors are layered and many, allowing for more contemplative complexity than we are used to from an “everyday” wine.
Critics Notes
-
Purple-red color. Leather and tar and black plum on the nose. Medium plus body with light-medium tannins. Blackberries and oak and some smoke on the palate. Nice clean finish. This wine wants umami! A great wine for pork, steak, mushrooms, hard cheeses, maybe just your favorite movie?
