...flirts with perfection in rarefied air. Black-and-blueberry aromas waltz gracefully with notes of thyme, a fresh-mowed hay field and bacon just hitting the griddle...perfectly balanced...with medium weight, lemony acidity and flavors like ripe blackberries, aged balsamic and black tea.
...darkly alluring and rich blend of plum sauce and sage complemented by dusty rose, balsamic spice and sweet smoke...textural joy ride, silky and deep, with blood orange nuances adding tension. A juicy acidity creates an energetic feel, and saline minerals pinch at the cheeks... It tapers off dramatically long, and with a crystalline tannic structure.
...complex nose with blackberries, spiced plum skins, roasted meat, baking spices and rocky soil. Full-bodied, big and broad-shouldered with firm tannins that are little chewy. Deep and structured...long and steady with rocky minerality going on for minutes.
Ripe red and black cherries, leafy herbs, crushed stone, forest floor, violets, and smoked meat notes...deep, full-bodied, concentrated Syrah with ultra-fine tannins, a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. The purity, precision, and length here are truly something...shockingly good.
Beginning with dusty aromas of spiced plum, dark cherry and black raspberry with hints of sage and cherry blossoms...savory, fresh and spicy. Full-bodied, tertiary and firmly structured...precise and finessed on the palate, with a food-friendly mouthfeel, succulent spicy cherries and hints of umami notes...continues to somersault over the long, lingering, mineral-laced finish.
