Floral nose with hints of plum and spice. Dark fruit (especially blueberries and blackberries), oak, and pepper on the tongue. A distinct creaminess due to malolactic. Long and tannic finish. Has legs to age.

Good ripeness of fruit yet definitely cool climate structure and finesse, made in a classic style. There should be another 15 years in this one!

Tannic and floral on the nose, reminiscent almost of a Nebbiolo, even with some of the characteristic hints of fresh herbs and pepper. Lots of oak and candied cherry fruit on the palate, rotten flowers, and a gaminess that plays into the acidity nicely. Definitely a cool climate wine. Very nice.
