There is a tell in this wine that tips me into the St. Helena zone – it’s the black and blue character that has become a regional signature, with black and blue berries riding with cassis in layered fashion that announce their presence with authority from beginning to end. Subtle mixed dried herbs add another layer. I have never been disappointed by a wine from this vineyard source, and this offering just continues the string. Love it!
