Spicy, stalky nose with deep attractive cherry fruit and a touch of earth. Supple mid-weight palate, nice freshness and transparency. Finish is nicely balanced with some crunchy tannins buffered by fruit presence. Quite long. The stalks dominate this wine a bit, a feature of the vintage I guess, but it’s nonetheless delicious. The clarity and purity of the fruit expression is admirable.

PNP. cork wet 10% and soft. Color edges starting to turn but mostly light garnet. Nose has plum and five spice with hint of cinnamon. Swishing this shows spicy tannin and mild acid but these are mostly subdued by the med body fruit. sipping shows great integration. super polished finish. really nice right now...not sure i will wait a long time to drink this vintage cause these are great now

Still has a nice acid structure and surprisingly present fruit for the 2011 vintage.
