2020 | Riise 'Doyen' | Paso Robles Pais Vasco licorice and spice cake notes

licorice and spice cake notes accent the ripe cassis and zesty cherry fruit character

Firms up yet remains balanced

In the beginning with a light exotic

violet and cocoa powder

so it is a more Sauternes style vintage

2020 | Riise 'Doyen' | Paso Robles Pais Vasco licorice and spice cake notesBased largely on Grenache with a splash of Syrah, the 2020 Doyan is a bigger, richer wine that has a full bodied, concentrated style as well as beautiful purity in its darker berry fruits, chocolate, graphite, and peppery spice like aromas and flavors. An incredibly successful 2020, it has fine grained tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
