Joshua Cooper ‘Doug’s Vineyard’ Varvaglione Papale 'Linea Oro' | Primitivo di Manduria making this wine a loyalPale ruby. Another elegant and ethereal vintage from this lovely vineyard. Full of raspberry and blackberry fruit, rose petal and subtle crushed herb, it is deceptively concentrated. Long with ribbons of fine, silky tannin and creamy pinot fruits, combined with the typical exotic spice always evident in the Dougs cuve. Long, balanced and charming, while a joy to drink now cellaring is also recommended.
