Winemaker Notes
*updated January 2025
An iron-rich expression with remarkable retention of whole-cluster spice. Enticing aromas of violets, woodsmoke, crushed rock, black olives, rhubarb, fennel, and a touch of honey sweetness. The palate is rich and savory, yet remarkably fresh, with an epic concentration of mesquite, beef jerky, espresso, and black currant. Medium-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and a layered depth of flavor and texture, this wine offers a truly captivating experience.
