Been about 1.75 years since I’ve had this. Nose is mid to late season cherries. These are deep and layered cherries. Insane spice and campfire notes. Super aromatic. Palate is terrific with high acids, great freshness and a supple texture. Super sweet fruit and tannins and so much acid! I love it. Really sweetly textured and lovely tiny berry fruit intensity. Long finish with loads of sap and structure to burn. Brilliant!

This is rocking today. Amazing fruit and freshness. Such pure vivid mid season cherry. Earthy and leafy with great stoniness. Wow. Palate has just stunning fruit, so rich, textured and deep with drop dead purity. So elegant, mineral and fresh. Brilliant. Such tiny berry explosive fruit.

@Lyle Fass Walter is a great producer, and I love this vineyard. As usual, even better on Day 2 than Day 1. Thanks!

Nose is dense cherry with a hint of smoke.

Palate is lovely cherry. Some spice.

Needs some air.

Love JW’s wines. The nose is captivating and the purity of the fruit is beautiful. @Lyle Fass
