Roblar 2021 "Grace and Grit" Gold Collection (BDX Blend) Santa Ynez Valley, CA ($98)

This is another banger from Roblar. The color is pretty saturated, as expected, but the wine shows freshness right off-the-bat. There are violet, blueberry and rose notes on the nose, deep blueberry, black currant and black cherry fruit flavors, and just a hint of cinnamon. This wine is very fruit-forward and deep, but lithe on the palate, and doesn't register a lot of new oak, which doesn't bother me in the least. I like it just like this, and I think it will actually age rather gracefully for a solid ten years. Well done. (95 Points)
