Some unrelenting viticulture in a dry year with no herbicides or pesticides, minimal fungicides and irrigation, with the wine then aged in a mix of new and old French oak.

The nose gives an earthen representation of dark cherry and rhubarb with charcuterie notes and spice a background influence. The palate has tension and speaks of pine needles, taut dark cherry that has a minerality to it. There is an underlying savoury disposition to the fruit, however there is enough purity there to set this up for a long future in the cellar.
