2021 Delmas The Peddler
Tasting Notes
The 2021 Peddler Magnum exemplifies perfection in winemaking. Its remarkable quality is evident even in its early stages, yet it unmistakably possesses the characteristics necessary for graceful aging. This wine is a true reflection of the unparalleled terroir of the SJR vineyard, distinguished by its remarkable purity of character. Its composition is masterfully balanced, with high levels of fine-grained tannins harmoniously interwoven with abundant fruit extracts and lively acidity, creating a wine of extraordinary poise and depth.
The aromatics are highly perfumed with blackberry, garrigue, lavender, smoked meats and nutmeg. Bacon fat, five-spice, black truffle, and black olive complete the palate. Long and balanced finish, with blackberry bramble and complex salinity.
About Delmas
All of Delmas wines originate from their 13-acre SJR Vineyard, which is uniquely situated at the southwest corner of The Rocks District; where the ancient wild river deposited finer soils amongst the cobbles/gravels. Brooke Delmas Robertson, who has taken the helm in guiding the winegrowing efforts for the family, ensures the continuation of their distinguished wines. These wines show a singularly distinctive expression within The Rocks District.
