Bright scarlet color. Musky red and blue fruits, pungent flowers and a hint of succulent herbs on the perfumed nose. Bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors show appealing sweetness and building floral and spice topnotes. Finishes impressively long and floral, with a lingering cherry note and smooth tannins that sneak in late.

The estate vineyard, this is dry-farmed and certified organic. Four-fifths of the 1986 planting went into this wine, with tart, wild berry and citrus flavors that penetrate deeply. A whiff of fresh peat moss rises from the glass and invites deeper exploration. These young wines all should benefit from a few more years of bottle age.

Attractively complex aromas of spiced red fruit with a sappy, forest-wood edge, as well as stones and chalk. The palate carries a lithe, detailed brand of tannin with mouthwatering, red-fruit flavors and a juicy, upbeat finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
