ANDIS WINES, Painted Fields Curse of Knowledge, Red Wine 2021 (Amador County, CA)

Producer Notes: Curse of Knowledge is a Bordeaux-style blend that was created to change the perception of the Sierra Foothills as a new dimension of perfectly balanced, well structured, high-quality wine. The intense ruby color and sensational bouquet of dried violet, black cherry, fresh herbs and cocoa powder, will catch your attention. A balanced mid-palate, generous, and round due to the velvety tannins with a lingering finish of dark berries and black licorice. Drink now to taste the brightness of our fruits or age in your cellar for the next decade.

Tasting Panel, 92 Points: Dried heather, licorice, and wild strawberry are surrounded by gentle tannins. Cola and chocolate merge with cedar for a sassy, rustic finish.
