”11 days on skins resplendent with 22% whole bunches. Ditto the JC, or thereabouts. A more ferrous block, here. I am detecting some Aussie scrub that I didn’t sense when first poured. In the best way! Really aromatic and pulpy, with palate-staining density defied by a lightness of feel. The tannins drive a sumptuous finish, corralling any stray excess. Mulberry, violet, Dr Pepper and a wonderful creaminess that is far from oak-derived. A nostalgic ping with contemporary styling. A manifest of vineyard rejuvenation, historic celebration and future affirmation.”
