Planted in 1849. Truly an iconic site.

Drank over 2 days. Day 1, great nose, exuberant fruit, big tannic structure. Day 2, tannins recede but still great nose and fruit. Bucklin bottles are also notably lighter than standard so environmentally good as well.

This is a wonderful wine - one of the best field blends I’ve had, really. There’s an impression of wild raspberries and boysenberries on the front end, backed by a layer of mildly peppery spice, and presented in a medium-bodied frame. The tannins are mostly resolved and the finish is clean and just a touch sweet. This was ready to go with minimal air.

This is only my second or third Bucklin and I’m becoming a big fan.
