A wine that maintains the house style in texture, structure and weight, and one that will take some time to unwind. It’s on the earthy side, with both dry and damp minerality riding atop cherry and strawberry fruit, tea and spice. Some air time in the glass brings the fruit forward and makes for a very expressive wine that has Carneros written all over it. Let this age a while and reap the benefits.
