...powerhouse of ripe red and dark-cherry aromas with striking purity of fruit, framed in sappy freshness...palate is seamless with such long, finely detailed tannin, carrying really supple and meltingly ripe red and dark cherries. A thing of wonder. This has a wildly fresh, lively fruit core that launches up and expands long on the finish. Superb!
...shows as a light, savory wine, with dried flowers and tapenade, brick dust and even saffron. The wine is so textural, the tannins so fine that once again they define the finish.
Raspberry and blueberry fruit combine with potpourri spice, vanilla, chocolate and a bit of earthy, Burgundy-style reductive funk. There's a lovely texture on the palate: silky with bright fruit, chalky acidity and a well-structured line of tannins. A slightly oaky astringency that should dissipate over time creeps in on the finish.
Supple and elegant, featuring fresh raspberry and wild strawberry flavors that reveal a thread of cream soda and spice running through. Pretty details of fresh sage, thyme and cinnamon linger on the finish.
Dark and rocky aroma of earthy red cherries. Greater density here than on the Cornish Point, darker, more mineral and less saline. Elegant restraint. Totally embryonic but the tannins are super-fine already.
