2022 Cochon “Wild Hog” Rhone-style Blend, Sonoma County
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points

Classy, focused and youthful, with an even finer future ahead, this pretty yet substantial red blend is not to be missed. Aromas of cranberry, red cherry, pink peppercorn, mace and hazelnut husk highlight a bright and evolving nose. In the mouth, it is rich, zesty, focused and lingers, while firming tannins promise growth yet never blunt the fruit or the wines current appeal. Everything grows deeper, darker, fruitier and richer on day two although the wine is truly impressive after even modest airing. It will surely grow in dimension over the next two years and at it’s price it is well worth cellaring.  A Chateauneuf du Pape-esque blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignane, Cinsault and Viognier. 300 cases produced.
