Stony Brook Ovidius Tempranillo 2021
Intense cherry tobacco aromas and dark, ripe black fruit are immediately present on the nose, followed by sweet spice, nutmeg and a touch of oak.
The wine is full and rich, while showing remarkable acidity.
There is a definite black cherry character on the palate that rounds off the fine, silky tannins and plush, ripe fruit finish.
The name pays homage to the Roman poet, Ovid, who is quoted on the front label of this wine: “Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it there will be a fish.”
