Description
94 points ~ Wine EnthusiastTasting Notes
This vintage is a singularity; one that exhibits deeply ripe fruit alongside a mineral acid backbone. There are the telltale Syrah violets and raspberries but mingled with dried cranberries and rose petals, freshly split cherry wood and a touch of ripe fig. The natural acidity endures making the aromas seesaw from plums to cinnamon, cedar, leather, then back to strawberry with a hint of hoisin. Very little of this wine was made due to small crop. If possible, grab a few bottles as it will be fun to watch it develop in the cellar for years to come. If opening it soon, give it time to breathe and pair it with a savory meal, like mushroom risotto, duck, or a charcuterie board.
