Delicate fruit esters lift from the glass, tempting the nose with macerated strawberries, red plums, and blackberry compote. Tertiary layers of sagebrush, mountain chaparral, and sweet brown baking spices compel the first sip. A lively acidity creates a playful rhythm along the palate, fulfilling aromatic promises that deliver vibrancy and finesse through the finish. This vintage offers purity and fine-grained tannins, enveloping a dense, fruit laden core that remains wonderfully fresh.
