2015 was notable for its light crop load in the vineyard and clusters with smaller than average berry size. So, while there's not a lot of this vintage to go around, what we do have is very dark, structured and layered with complex fruit notes. In the glass the wine exhibits a garnet hue with a light ruby halo. Waves of aromas emerge from the glass suggesting pine bough, cranberry compote, clove, and loam. The luxurious palate has layers of spicy brambly fruit, toasted cedar, pomegranate, star anise and lavender. With so many intricate layers and a complimentary, precise acidity, this wine will surely stand the test of time and develop gracefully in bottle.
