April 3, 2021 - Nose: Sage, eucalyptus, strawberry and cherry compote, chicory, tobacco leaf, and hint of cedar box deep in the glass. This is a really beautiful nose with tons of action.
Palate: Boysenberries, sarsparilla, and bright red berries on the attack. Mid-palate features garrigue, violets, dark, dried fruits. Iron minerality forms the backbone throughout the palate. Finish features slightly bitter green peppers, hoisin/soy sauce, dark red berries carry the big, long finish.
Summary: Flavor profile shows tons of evolution from the attack through the finish. Tannins are well integrated for such a young wine and makes for great mouth feel. I could use a touch more acidity to prop the wine up and find parts of the palate a little sappy. Strikes me as a wine to drink young and not lay down.2 people found this helpful 2,325 views
