Herbacious in a good way! Roasted green pepper, black cherry, exotic spice, violet and tea leaves. M acid and body. M+ tannin. Black fruit, minerality, cherries. Complex and beautiful. An honor to have tasted this wine!

When you add French Savoir-faire, new French oak to California grapes, here's the result: high concentration, fresh herbs, ripe plums and violets. Well balanced and terroir driven: Boom!
