Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2019 Coach Gun opens up nicely with notes of fresh blue berries, espresso, star anise, and a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied richness and silky tannins are layered with notes of dark chocolate, fresh herbs, juicy red cherry that makes this an excellent wine to enjoy now, though it can easily age in the cellar for a decade or more.
