November 30, 2018 - I love this wine. It’s seamless, fully integrated, and opens to meat, asphalt, and tasty, black and blue fruit notes over gravelly minerality and a suggestion of milk chocolate and black tea on the back end. Such a lovely articulation of place. The only shame is that only 298 cases were produced.
