Mending Wall 'Mortar & Stone', Napa Valley, USA 2021 Bodegas y Vinedos Akilia With the Lecco EditionDark, deep and mysterious, the 2021 Mortar & Stone stimulates the senses and inspires the imagination. The intrigue begins with its concentrated purple color. Moving closer for inspection, uplifted aromas suggest cassis reduction, distressed leather, cigar wrapper, espresso, and toasted baking spices. The mouth coating palate expresses layers of decadent cocoa nib, macerated blackberry, forest floor and cedar bark.
