2021 Riise Peace

The 2021 Peace opens with mentholated freshness, blending crushed blackberries and plums with savory herbs and a hint of tobacco. Cool-toned and sleek, it builds tension as noticeably ripe wild berry fruit is balanced by a tinge of clove that emerges toward the close. The finish leaves pleasantly chewy concentration and liquid violet florals, tapering off with extreme length and blackberry resonance.

The 2021 Peace is composed of 87% Syrah, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petite Sirah. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out of the glass with bold notes of juicy black cherries and plum preserves, followed by hints of tar, licorice, lavender oil, and camphor. The full-bodied palate delivers a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and a lively line, supporting the vibrant fruit through the long, mineral-laced finish.
