Fresh & Powerful

The 11th vintage of this bottling was a storied one for sure: historic heat in early September produced a bottling that is notably tiny, as well as incredibly complex and dense. Tiny yields were the norm for the year, and this wine is no exception. Vibrant aromatics of boisenberry, blueberry, orange peel, cracked pepper, lavender, and blond tobacco jump from the glass, leading to a dense, but elegantly framed palate with flavors that are intense and buffered by layers of dense fruit. The finish showcases extremely fine tannins, lending shape and length.
