A rare treat in that sweet spot between development and lovely fruit. Classic match for Pacific salmon on the grill.

Intense aromas of red and black cherries, cinnamon, underbrush and oak. Tight. the nuances came out after 2+ hours of decanting.

Atherton Wine Imports 2026 tasting at République, Los Angeles. 2024 vintage. Light medium/medium body. Great concentration and a scintillating finish. Needs a little time tho. 3.18.26.

2023 vintage. From a 375ml bottle. Fairly fruity off the bat and medium/medium-heavy body. Came back to revisit after an hour and mouthfeel dropped down to medium body with expansive tea and earth flavors. Nice 1st impressions. 12.28.25.
