An enticing, slightly corrupt nose of kirsch-like raspberries with an intriguing, delicious anise edge. It has a cherried, silky-sweet, stunningly suave mid-palate. Just gorgeous and seductive. I almost never think of minerality alone when I taste this vineyard, but of a lovely complex juiciness and a pleasing slatey firm mineral finish. Lovely, clean, morello cherry-forest strawberry flavours lead on to the tight cherry pit finish. Is this a simpler terroir than the lower bench? Or just more suave?  Over to you!

A word from Mary: Rosewater. Sprightly, light minerality.
