Tasting notes
A beautiful floral and raspberry character and an elegant, refined texture make this irresistible. So well balanced, fresh and vivid, offering red cherries, black cherries, savory bay leaves, wild herbs and spearmint. Medium- to full-bodied. So pretty, detailed and agile. Made from older vines on this distinctive property, using a mix of the heritage Martini and Dijon clones. Drink now or hold.

This wine is opulent, with aromas of lingonberry, boysenberry, maple, violet, sandalwood and cedar on the nose. The flavors on the palate are baked dark cherry, black currant confiture and simmering spices, morphing into mandarin orange zest, cardamom, toasty oak and a dry, long and supple finish. Hold or drink until 2034. Pair with braised beef cheeks. — Tonya Pitts
An expressive version, offering vivid boysenberry and mulberry pâte de fruit notes that ripple with nice underlying tension, while rose petal, iris and dried bergamot notes fill in the background. Mouthwatering finish. 361 cases made.
