raspberry fruit and a modest hand at some french oak. lightly expressing dark earth. tangy spice. is there RS in here??? nice and easy. All sourced fruit??? Ben calls Monterey as usually with a tomato component, but not here.

black cherry and delicate spice in the nose. definite rock in there. more mineral driven and not to dark of a profile on the palate.

ferments on the stems. nose of the sous-bois. toasted brown rice. livelier acid than the Mount Eden 06 Estate. green notes on the palate. not really so fruit driven. Red raspberry fruit comes off on the finish.

shows a dark cloudy rose tone. remember the post-fementation maceration converstation??? light thistle to the nose, hints of kerosene on the palate, red raspberry fruit but also some crab apple in there too.

fog influence for sure. 1st to plant in the highlands.
spice/wood notes is really clonal selection. not so aromatic, the nose is being difficult. tight, not so tight, but not giving up much more than structure. roast to the finish.

sous bois and that light element of deep sweetness. light body. almost a blackberry fruit profile. brown leaf on the nose. full level of fruit to the morgan. great in the mouth.
