This wine is stunning. All the things you expect from a north Berkeley wine. I could go on and on with notes but seriously it’s just really fu*%ing good!!!

Young and awesome. Dark nose. Cocoa, chocolate, granite, floral and mineral. Opens up slowly with spice and even more defined flowers. Palate is rich and ripe, with excellent freshness and intense granitic minerality. Hit of opulence as well. Such dramatic and palate staining blackberry and blueberry fruit that is so well defined. Grippy and substantial tannins. Elegant and refined. But still showing young even with all that. Needs air and age. Stunning. But I’ll be back. This can be a 9.5 but a 9.3 for now. Open 10 minutes for this note. 9.5 now. Wow. Refined and elegant with just stunning fruit. Such an epic wine.

A highlight from my Rhône trip last year, this is stunning. For my palate a perfect balance of concentration, structure, perfume, and life. Only drawback is how young it is, I cant wait to see how this evolves. So much ripe mixed black-berry fruits, sweet smoke, licorice, cured meat and wet black rocks. The florals and little layers are awesome. Seriously punches above its weight. Wanted to rate higher, but I know with time it will only climb from here.

This needed air to really reveal itself. I should have decanted. I waited a day to try again and was rewarded. Complex and beautiful. Cured meats, black fruit, spice, licorice, limestone, plus a finish that just lingers. I am guessing this will improve with a couple more years of age.

Wow. Nose of gorgeous licorice. Sweet licorice and blackberries on the palate. Good freshness. Juicy Bought from Fass Selections.
