The nose unfolds with layers of mulberry, black cherry, licorice and truffle, supported by a savory complexity that gives the wine real gravitas.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, with thick, juicy fruit, purity of flavor and a long, persistent finish that lingers well beyond a minute. The tannins remain present and structured, suggesting excellent aging potential; while it can be enjoyed now with air, it will reward patience and is expected to evolve gracefully for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Muse 2013 is sourced from high-elevation hillside vineyards across Alexander Valley, Chalk Hill, Knights Valley and Bennett Valley in California.
