2025
From Viader Vineyards
The Viader Homenaje 2025 presents a deep ruby hue, hinting at its concentration. The nose is an elegant tapestry of blackcurrant and ripe plum, interwoven with cedar, vanilla bean, and a subtle hint of dried violet. A captivating undercurrent of graphite and crushed stone adds complexity. On the palate, the wine unfolds with a rich, full-bodied character. Flavors of dark cherry and blackberry compote dominate, supported by well-integrated tannins that provide a velvety texture. The acidity is bright, lending lift and freshness. The alcohol is noticeable but balanced. The finish is long and lingering, echoing the dark fruit and cedar notes with a pleasing touch of spice. This Napa Valley red possesses excellent structure and balance, suggesting a promising aging potential of 10-15 years.
