Bright ruby color. Expressive, fruity nose with cranberry, sour cherry, dried herbs, peach tea, and cedar-earthy tones. Bright, fresh and very young on the palate. This could have used more time in the barrel but is really lovely for its energy, red fruit and mineral youth. Love the fruit at mid and energetic/mineral finish. Hopefully time will bring complexity to this wine.

Reticent at first. Herbal, sour cherry, fennel, thyme, bay and well seasoned oak notes. Subtle tea. Medium body with lovely acidity and thrust. LONG with lots of complex herbs on the finish. For me, Chianti is the king of food pairing for these savory notes and structure. This wine is on top from that perspective. Pretty perfect, although not yet as expressive as it may be with some time in bottle.

Pretty light gold color. I want to say this is a really pure wine but it definitely has some really appealing, lifted, oxidative notes of corruption that make it more interesting. Curry, citrus, nuts, salty consomme, and silage with underlying just-ripe pit, verging on tropical, fruit. Exotic spice cabinet. Full and rich on entry with bright, fresh, citrusy acidity carrying it through to a very long finish. There is a concentration to this wine that makes it pleasurable if not exciting. Certainly memorable and fun with food. Lentil soup tonight, although I would love to have this with Comte.
