Estimate
Toasty aromas are not enough to smother the intense, rich & concentrated fruitiness of this powerful wine. Structured & with a firm backbone, slow in developing... the fruit is all there, waiting to release the burst of red-berry flavors.
Pure, featuring rose, cherry, strawberry and mineral aromas and flavors. Though light-weight, this is concentrated, lingering with an aftertaste of cherry and stone. Just on the austere side now. 525 cases made.
Raw and backward, wood still palpable, but a degree of refinement and layering that bodes just as well as you would hope. Highly impressive.
