2016 Limestone Rocks "Child in Time"

A red with black fruit, spice, vanilla and black chocolate. Medium body, round and juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Delicious now. (2020)

The 2016 Limestone Rocks Child In Time is based largely on Petit Verdot yet has 14% Pinotage in the blend. Aged 18 months in new French and American oak, its deep purple hue is followed a Bordeaux-like nose of black and blue fruits, toasty oak, violets, and sappy green herbs. This medium-bodied, elegant red has terrific tannins, supple texture, and I suspect, the balance to evolve for a solid decade. (2020)
