(50% whole clusters). A strikingly cool, restrained and very floral nose presents fresh and cool red currant along with earth, game and humus wisps. The well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely sense of underlying tension on the focused, precise and energetic finish. This isn’t especially dense but it is well-balanced and solidly persistent though I would note that if you generally don’t care for whole cluster-vinified wines then this won’t be for you as the effects are quite noticeable.
