Materra Midnight Blend (by Chelsea Barrett)

2021 Midnight is immediately inviting with its inky purple hue and fruit-forward aromatics. Initial notes of black currant and blueberry compote are followed by white pepper and fresh blackberries. The mouthfeel is juicy and lush, with finely textured tannins. The finish brings forward more savory character, black pepper, and vibrant acidity. This is delightful mid-weight blend had moderate tannins and will pair with a variety of cuisines.

93 points - The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes skipping out with cheerful, carefree scents of wild blueberries, black raspberries, and juicy plums plus hints of cracked black pepper, potpourri, and forest floor. The full-bodied palate is chock full of juicy black berry flavors with fragrant accents and a plush texture, finishing with impressive length.
