2020 Coto de Gomariz 'The Flower and the Bee' Souson Ribeiro

Winemaker Notes:  This wine is the starting point to understand and appreciate the complexity of the Galician terroir and its native grape varieties. Deliciously easy-drinking, Coto de Gomariz has wanted The Flower and the Bee to be enjoyed unapologetically!

Shimmering violet. Smoke- and spice-accented cherry pit, blackberry and floral scents are complemented by hints of liquorice and succulent herbs. Nicely concentrated yet lively as well, offering bitter cherry and dark berry flavours that slowly unfurl through the back half. Closes long and subtly chewy, with firming tannins and repeating spice and floral notes.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The fruit-driven 2020 The Flower And The Bee Sousón has nicely integrated oak and is pleasantly spicy and smoky with notes of ripe berries and some gritty tannins. These reds need food and/or time. 15,000 bottles produced."


Decanter - "Made for summer drinking, this Sousón is a lovely, juicy, cherry-ish wine, with a typically spicy, crunchy finish. Made from the youngest Sousón vines of the winery, fermented in stainless steel and lightly oaked. Very refreshing, and just the wine to serve cool in Duralex tumblers."
