This estate cuvée exhibits an exhilarating aromatic complexity unusual for a wine so young. At the core, a bright array of summery red and black fruits finds itself adorned with a glowing perfume of mint, sassafras, baking spice, rock dust, garden leaves. Rich and viscously flowing in the mouth, the tannins here are incredibly fine and artfully integrated, making for a wine silky and lustrous. During its sleek passage through the mouth, the wine’s effortless concentration is notable—a compactness of detail without overwhelming with heaviness and density. It is a complex, artful wine that has no business being so irresistibly easy-drinking.
