  Eight months after the prior: Vibrant, energetic, showing lovely suggestions of white ground pepper. Note to self, we really should try to hold the next one a bit longer to see how it evolves. On the other hand, it is dandy right now. Highly enjoyable over three nights.

  The two notes below describe it very well. To that we will add, as observed in those notes: this has a lovely and vibrant white ground pepper character. Highly enjoyable over three nights, and we look forward to seeing how this evolves in future years.

  Espresso bean, leafy herbs, red currant, red cherry & plum fruit. Some dried fruit, vegetables & spice on the palate. Seems cool climate, but enough concentration to hold it up. Strict, chewy tannins & bright acid. Has a lot of time to develop here. Clear cut meatiness, graphite and white pepper on the finish. Very good but needs time in bottle to flesh out fully. Drink 2025-2035. Perli is 2200 ft in elevation, 10 miles from ocean. 100% Native Yeast 100% Whole Cluster. Neutral oak for 18 months.

  Deep purple ruby color, bright in the glass. Aromas of black raspberry & cherry, smoked paprika, pressed violets, mesquite char, bay leaf. Fresh red berry fruit on the palate, with secondary cracked pepper, black tea, mushroom, leather and sun-dried tomato - very savory. Sturdy & dense, medium weight, plenty of verve, rounded edges, a little flesh on the tannins as it closes. Savory and juicy finish, medium length.
