This wine is sourced mainly from the Londer Estate in Anderson Valley. Winemaker David Rossi’s take on the vineyard gives us a very tightly wound wine a present, but one that shows excellent promise. Aromas include dusty mineral, cherry, menthol and maple, and the palate focuses on earth and red fruit. I’d lay this down for at least three years to let everything come together — it will be well worth the time.
