Freshly cut flowers, mint, chalk, white pepper, blood orange and red fruit all open up in the glass.
...green tobacco, blackcurrants, graphite, chargrill, and piney/forest floor notes as well as a full-bodied, rich, beautifully textured style on the palate. It has classic Mount Veeder structure yet backs it up with gorgeous fruit and length.
...notes of crushed black cherries and blackberries with an undercurrent of raisin cake, espresso and dusty soil plus wafts of hoisin and sauteed herbs. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and elegantly played with soft, well-managed tannins and a lively line lifting the ripe, spicy black fruit preserves flavors, finishing with a lingering herbal lift.
A very modern style here with plenty of fresh, violet-like aromas and a distinctive, iodine-like, savory thread, as well as forest wood and a slew of ripe dark berries. The palate is very refined and the tannins are silky and long, carrying a smooth, elegantly flavorful finish.
