Producer’s notes
Blueberry mixed with graphite and sweet spice on the nose. The winery describes a beautifully aromatic wine with abundant fruit on the palate that carries through to the finish, and a character drawn from the vineyard’s distinctive soils. In 2016 early rains recharged the aquifers after the drought, flowering set a small crop, and near perfect summer weather lasted through the harvest, giving wines of intense concentration and natural balance.
