Beautifully ripe strawberry, bark and pine needle aromas with dried flowers. Dried tea, too. Orange peel. Medium to full body. Plenty of soft tannins. Earth. Granite. Pumice. Plenty of flavor. Very structured. Broad spine. Drink after 2026.

Offers gently mulled mulberry and blackberry fruit that hold center stage, with nice briary energy running underneath. Shows a light kiss of toast and anise on the finish, as the fruit lingers steadily. Drink now through 2028. 12,770 cases made.

Handsome black cherry and black tea flavors ride a good structure of moderate tannins in this concentrated, deep and complex-tasting wine. Accents of rose petals, cloves and redwood forest make it interesting to sip and savor.
