2023 Birichino 'Gimelli Vineyard' Cabernet Pfeffer, Cienega Valley
The Gimelli bottling from 2023, thanks to a remarkably long and cool vintage, is lighter in body than one might expect, and surprisingly pretty- with a heady, almost strawberry-like perfume, with slightly spicy and tart salted strawberry aromas on the palate, and velvet texture.
