Sipping Fine Wine

Sourced from 5 parcels spread throughout 95 acres. Vines date back as far as 1962 and soils are primarily clay and limestone. Dark Ruby color with aromas of red fruits and gentle spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with herb and peppery spice. Fine tannins, medium+ finish, well balanced, ending with fruit and mineral character.

Can’t stop, won’t stop. Enjoyed by everyone at the table. Beautiful pop and pour.

Like a strawberry patch after a light rain. Pure red fruits and damp soil. Silky and polished. Probably a bit too new world for some but I find it absolutely delicious.

I took no notes but very good bottle in a more classical register, albeit less "clumsy" than in prior times. Good stuff and requires a few more years.

Bing cherry and strawberry, touch on the medicinal side, red flowers and soft tannins.

Loved the color of the wine as I poured it into my glass. The bright purple really popped out. Loads of flavor. This was tasty.

2019. Aroma of red fruit. Clean red fruit flavors, moderate tannins. Highly flavorable and drinkable.
