Beautiful cherry red to ruby color, very youthful and bright edges. The aromas are classic cool climate notes, showing off ripe cherry, blueberry pie with rosemary and savory spice. The palate is lush and full, yet still very expressive and refreshing. Lots of ripe flavors of crushed fruits sweet oak and hint of vanilla.

Wine Spectator
Expressive, with a lovely wave of pure mulberry fruit cruising through, laced with violet and hibiscus notes and backed by a well-integrated black licorice edge on the finish. Reveals a subtle tug of earth at the tail end, too, to keep things grounded. Shows the richness of a '21 rather than a '20. Drink now through 2029. 1,076 cases made.
