Kerr Cellars ‘Curvature’ Red Wine Napa Valley 2021 750ml

This wine exudes beautiful and varied fruit notes – red and black cherry, cassis – with a really juicy character balanced by fresh acidity and complexity – dried culinary herbs, dark chocolate, cedar, cinnamon, pencil shavings, wet stones. The entry is vibrant and silky opening to a round midpalate with nice weight, where darker notes prevail – black cherry, black licorice, hint of tobacco, dark chocolate, culinary bay. The texture is well resolved, with ultra fine tannins, quietly driving the ethereal, very long finish. The 2021 Curvature is lovely and eager to please, fresh and fun, yet has all the layers and nuances of a wine well above this price range.
