...offers up a really beautiful, maturing bouquet of sweet cassis, black cherries, pinoté chocolatey tones, a fine base of dark soil, woodsmoke, roasted gamebird and a bit of balsam bough in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and well-balanced, with a fine core of ripe black fruit, good soil signature and grip, modest tannins and a long, complex and classy finish.
Rather restrained and laid-back on the palate, it nonetheless clings with authority, offering smoky, crushed stone, and saline mineral elements in a dynamic interchange with its concentrated fruit.
Juicy, palate-staining dark berry flavors show a refreshing bitterness, with nervy acidity providing lift. Seamless and silky in texture, finishing with very good grip and lingering floral and spice notes.
...elegant red, with good concentration to the boysenberry, cherry, spice and roasted herb flavors. The light tannins are well-integrated, with a smoky undertone lingering on the modest finish.
