Very pretty wine. Silky and smooth. Red and black fruited. Hints of lovely baking spices, vanilla pudding, melted licorice, pie crust, chocolate and spring flowers. Medium + body, Great lifting acidity, smooth tannins. This will get even better.
Tasted with the Brion Caldwell ‘18 which we thought had more layers or complexity at the stage.

Tasted with Nigel. Easily the best GIII sourced fruit/wine I've had to date. I'll admit I'm not the biggest fan of this vineyard but this was lovely expression. Nigel mentioned the block sourced is one of the best locations in this massive vineyard. All the depth and complexity you look for in a wine. Most GIII I've had are thin and monolithic. This is not.
Bravo!
