vivid ruby; muted aromatics, red berries, cherries, potpourri, dusty earth, pine needles; very tart red fruits, prominent minerality on the finish; medium body, high acidity, prominent fine grained, 13% ABV; first vintage sourced from their estate vineyard, 25% whole cluster inclusion, aged in 25% new French oak for 12 months and then 4 months in tank; still a bit tight at this point but suspect it will reward long term cellaring; $50

I am going with Jeff’s rating here. Touch herbaceous they most likely included stems. Gorgeous color. Mostly dark berries. Hint tart cherries and chalk. A good wine but not super complex. It needs a couple of years to come together. Pricy for what it is.

A bit green. Opened nicely in the glass. Cherries, blackberries on a medium palate. Should be better in a couple of years.

Beautiful, earthy, almost hauntingly so. Great depth, very interesting (in a good way). Cerebral. Kept one coming back.
