2017 Refosco

The 2017 Refosco, another oddity in this range, is sourced from Casa Nuestra, a site in St. Helena that sells the rest of their fruit to Turley. There is good varietal character in the inky blue and black fruit, along with hints of lavender, rose petal, sage and mint. Supple and silky, with lovely aromatic delineation, the Refosco will drink well upon release. Readers should note that the Sandlands wine is made from a generic version of the Refosco grape and not the Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso that can produce wines of notable structure and distinction.
