Aromatically beautiful and bursting with fruit purity: bing cherry, fresh raspberry and balsamic strawberries. Savory complexity: sage and bergamot, freshly-turned earth and pine needle freshness. Solid in the mouth, full of fruit and spices. Generous and layered, even chewy. Prickly rose hip tartness. Focused and linear. Long in the mouth. Drink now to 2020.
Wildrose vineyard. Hand harvested and sorted. Aged 13 months in 50% new French oak followed by two months settling in tank. Released November 2014. — 10 years ago

Ripe fruit on the nose. Juicy black cherry and boysenberry fruit with black tea, black pepper, minerality and a saline note on the finish. Rich and creamy texture. — 3 years ago
