Dense electric violet in color, this wine excites with aromas of perfectly ripened cassis, tobacco, graphite, and clean gravel after a spring rain. The densely textured palate is generous in flavors of black cherry, lavender, spice, and mineral. It is a wine of excellent focus, energy and tension, with a finish that lasts for over a minute.
This growing season will be remembered for challenging weather, low yields, and a historically late harvest. Spring and early summer rains contributed to a cool, wet growing season. In response to slower maturation due to these conditions, we dropped over half of the fruit onto the ground to enhance overall ripening. The resulting wines are Bordeaux-like in character.
