Bouncy, layered, ethereal, curiously complex Cali bordeaux blend. Sometimes difficult to pick out notes because the structure and flavors are seamless and the tannin/acids are exceptionally balanced. Wonderful tension between richness of fruit/oak and the zippy mineral floral tones. Super long finish.

2018 vintage. Going for a feminine Haut-Brion style vs the usual, masculine Napa, how you doin overtures. Glides along with little tannic pushback. 9.10.25.
