”Fermentation in small-batch open fermenters. Matured 14 months in small- and large-format French oak. Even in its youth, St. Peters brings a sense of poise and elegance. The '19 has an added degree of refinement, oak seems more measured than in the past, the fruit more composed. The vintage rates highly with winemakers in the region. Restrained aromas of earthy spice, plums, blackberries and a hint of bay leaf. Smooth and subtle in the mouth, it's early days, with depth.”
