Planted to an unknown clone, and grown on reddish, magnesium oxide-influenced soils, it offers up bright pomegranate and spicy rhubarb, luscious red raspberries over an amaro blueberry mid-palate. Bracing, with some wildness, and an almost Campari finish! It is a classy, elegant blueberry and tight-fruited meaty wildness. I love the roasted cool blue fruit flavours. And this super dark slatey finish. It has an evocative nose of small forest strawberries and raspberries. Umami-anise and an elegant wild mid-palate make for a majestic wine. Acidulated fruits like raspberries with glorious glycerine on the finish, wine from red-coloured earth. The magnesium oxide here imbues a savoury seashore salty finish to this gorgeous wine. Age this for at least another five years. It will improve that long and more.
A word from Mary: Cranberry orange peel. Amaro Campari, a herbal finish. Cranberry;, blackberry, rhubarb; rose petal. That's more than ONE Word from Mary :) But hey. a complex wine is a complex wine.
Another word from Mary: Takes this Vineyard to the next level
