A selection from 40-year-old vines growing in granite soils with manganese, this wine fermented with some whole clusters (20 percent) and then aged for 16 months in stainless steel. That élevage preserved the generous depths of fruit in the wine, floral up front, edged with bright tannins and green-peppercorn spice in the end. A bold and zesty 2018, this will benefit from a year of bottle age. (10/2020)
A top note of menthol is present on the pretty and subtly perfumed red berry aromas display added breadth in the form of pepper and earth wisps. The delicious, sleek and appealingly textured flavors contrast somewhat with the firm and lingering finish that flashes a touch of asperity. I like the depth as well as the mid-palate texture though the finishing balance isn't quite completely dialed in. (10/2020)
Note: From 3 terroirs with vine age of 40-60 years aged in 100% stainless steel
