Tasting Notes

12.1% alcohol. This is sappy and focused with sweet red cherries and plums. It’s really fresh, with good acidity, but there’s a supple, almost silky quality and some sweet fruit. The tannins are really well managed: they’re present, but they aren’t grippy. Although this is picked early, it has some richness and generosity, and the sappy green hints are really nicely integrated. I like the way this wine combines ripeness and freshness. This is really attractive and supple, with lovely balance.

A light delicate wine, this features earthy mint, clove and cinnamon stick aromas and flavors within a focused, elegant package of expansive berry and citrus fruit. The acidity is persistent and refreshing, allowing for aspects of brine and flint to shine wildly through.

12.1% alc. Moderate garnet color in the glass. Soaring aromas of black raspberry, spice, burnt tobacco and tutti-fruiti. Sleek and eager to please in a forward drinking mid weight style, featuring flavors of black cherry and black raspberry with a tasty spice riff and a carbonic maceration note. Well-structured, with a compliment of oak, taking on more pride with time in the glass. Perfectly fine when tasted up to four days from a previously opened and re-corked bottle indicating good age ability. Drink this wine now and over an extended time of cellaring.
