So full of life & energy with an intensity & beauty almost beyond belief. This cool climate high-altitude vineyard expresses itself through freshness, bright crunchy fruit & an intensity of roses & violets perfume which draws you in. Strawberry, cherry & dark, juicy blackberry & blueberry fruit balance the classy restraint of pencil shavings & a fine scent of crushed stone-chalky minerality. A hint of marzipan adds to the picture of a highly charismatic wine. While focused & linear in its firmly structured frame, it offers lushness & silky texture with a macadamia nut-like creaminess. The ultimate expression of Pedernal Valleys world class terroir. Drinks perfectly at the time of release yet has evident cellaring potential which will further reveal a multitude of underlying layers.
