Grippy, chalky tannins reveal concentrated blackberry, plum skins, violets, and graphite. Distinguished and muscular, with black licorice coating the palate.
An astonishing vintage for an equally astonishing wine. Melted dark chocolate cherries glides across the palate like a movie star walking the red carpet. Well-developed and confident, the finish stretches long and languorously.
From this rugged mountain AVA, this red is armed with minerality and structure. Layered flavors of violets, cedar, savory herbs, and dark chocolate create a full-bodied mouthfeel. The wine’s vibrant acidity defines its polished texture, allowing the wine’s energy to emerge.
Spending 20 months in 80% new French oak, with another year in barrel gives this wine a distinct complexity. Palate-grabbing tannins demonstrate power and muscle. Graphite, blackberry skins, and black cherry ganache create a grainy mouthfeel. Minerality goes deep, fielding savory notes of soy sauce, black coffee, and walnut, and finishing with powdered violets.
