Tasting after being open for a day. Wow. Fruit is so expressive. Layers of dark cherry, cloves, forest floor. Proud to have had a hand in this one!

Sample. Light brick red. Softer raspberries on the nose with wet stones and forest floor backed with stinky and smoked undertone. Low tannins (4/10) and moderate acidity (6/10) but balanced. Intense structure compared to the Oppenlander. Layered palate with tart raspberries, dried red cherries and freshly cracked pepper. Each note on the palate kept developing more depth with air. Medium plus body and long finish. Drink till 2024.

With 16 month in French barrel and some bottle age, I expected a more complex and rounded wine, but this 13’ bottling from Mendocino Ridge AVA is all about pure fruit expression - so vibrant, fresh, and juicy. At time it feels like drinking a Cru Beaujolais, which is not a bad thing at all.
