Wonderfully balanced and complex. Light bodied, earthy, you can almost smell the ocean in the grapes.

Had this at Print Restaurant in NYC. Lovely with many different flavors. Full bodied that just kept getting better over the course of our evening.

A rather confusing wine that was unfitting and short (not something that should change) in the first night. The second night, the wine was impressively & more open, even after having been stored with a closed VacuVin stopper & in the refrigerator. Pricey for what it delivers, I'd hesitate to buy another vintage.
