With the release last week I decided it was time to take a peak at the “oldest” bearwallow they’ve made to get a feel for where these are going and how they compare to wines made by Rhys from their estate vineyard. The darkest fruited of the rivers-marie family. This really puts on weight with extended air time and the fruit rises up to meet the presence of acidity. Once it has opened up it’s very similar to the Rhys but richer in profile. Cranberry, spicebox, and freshly dug earth. This has years to go until peak.
