Vineyard is south of trout gulch-1600 feet-planted in 79 and dry farmed-picked at 22-23-100% whole cluster-little stemminess and green note on nose-not on palate-great acid and good ripeness but towards tart fruit side

Very tight and restrained must have some whole cluster grapes in this . A little rustic and green , like the idea here just needs a little more intensity of fruit to pull it off .

Duncan and Nathan strike again. This wine was super wound-up upon release, but completely silky and incredibly complex now. Ripe red fruit with dried rose petals and terra cotta. Textural, brilliant.

Given some time to open up this is beautiful. Dark fruits soft and great finish. Obviously the bottle disappeared way to soon. Loved it.

Earthy, herbal, and somewhat stemmy. Coarsely structured without being rustic. Old world class.
