Countertop Durif 750ml

Countertop Durif is a bold, full-bodied red built for immediate impact and aging potential. It pours with deep, inky color and offers aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, layered with cocoa, espresso, and subtle spice. The palate is dense yet balanced, with firm tannins, bright acidity, and a long, spicy finish. Pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, or aged cheeses; decant to open up in its first hours and allow additional complexity to develop with time.
