Tasted pre-release, this is a blend of Chambertain and Vosne-Romanee clones that you will want to snap up when it hits the market. It is a structured wine that is showing its pedigree coupled with coastal influence. At four years of age in the vineyard, this is a plot and bottling to keep an eye on going forward. Deep cherry fruit, rich herbs and spice, zesty acidity and subtle earth tones are beautiful already. This is going places!
