Small single vineyard. A wise, ancient mountain. Perilously steep slope. Windswept. Extreme. Remote. Perfect for this heartbreak grape. Only 7 precious barrels. Climate is the irrepressible soundtrack that booms from the glass. The oldest story of soil is woven into the aromas. A winemaker's obsession. The soul of a remarkable farm.
The nose shows an intriguing blend of just-ripe strawberry and blueberry, wrapped up in spring herbs and dark chocolate oak. The palate echoes the ripe, red forest fruits of the nose, and also reflects the subtle and complexing herbaceous characters. The tannins are creamy, long and persistent. This wine benefits from being decanted a day or two before consuming. It will age gracefully for at least 15 years if stored correctly.
