Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Quartage Red Blend 2020

The surprisingly elegant 2020 Shotfire Quartage delivers ample layers of black cherry and dried herbs with a touch of graphite and spice. Good composure is on show in a fleshy mid-weight style, providing a rich blackberry flavor core with chewy tannins to finish. Drinking window: 2023-2030. Score – 91.
