Clean and undeniably beautiful aromas of black cherry compote and cherry liqueur are leveled by earthy scents of forest floor on the enticing nose of this single-vineyard expression. There’s a tight grip on the palate, where a black-rock minerality and well-integrated bay leaf flavor balance the core of vibrant, lush red fruit. —M.K.
What We Thought: Perfumed floral aromas and bright red cherry frame the nose while ripe, soft black cherry dominates the palate, along with notes of vanilla and baking spice, finishing with only the softest of tannins.
