Lots of smoke, licorice and mineral with almost no fruit, but so much expression. There’s also mountain freshness to this that gives it another kind of energy. So much mineral drive at the finish that you have to hold onto your seat! Great aging potential. Drink or hold.

"Citrus, stone and crushed herb unite on the subtle nose, leaving you thinking of lemon, sage and potentilla. The palate adds fresh, green pear to the mix and pits these flavors against a lovely backdrop of supple, springy and smooth yeastiness. Those herb notions have a salty echo on the long finish."
