Loads of red currants, raspberries, citrus oil, and dusty lavender on the palate. Rhubarb, wet stone and red currant nose.. The acidity should help last over the next 3-4 years.

Cherry kool aide. Dirty.
Dec 6th, 2018Black and white pepper, red currant, raspberry, and wildflowers are in the nose and on the palate. Balanced and nimble, this is so good. I enjoyed it with and without a grilled pork tenderloin.

This is my awakening wine - it broke me out of the Cab / Shiraz funk I found myself in some time ago. Forever grateful to William Allen for producing this super elegant bottle of loveliness.

Typical of William's style: properly ripe, no obvious oak. Fruit & earth. 100% enjoyable
