There is a fabulous purity to the fruit and a lushness to the texture that lets you know

its made from a single vineyard planted in the Santa Cruz Mountains at 730m above sea level and just 15 miles from the Pacific ocean

mainly thanks to the larger contribution of Sémillon at one-third of the blend

It has a brilliant bouquet with incredibly well-defined red fruit laced with cedar and truffle

Asian spices

Fully mature, with an exotic, concentrated, kirsch filled blast of fruit, the jam, garrigue, spice and underbrush side also came out nicely. This is not a wine I'd hold for further aging, but it has been a fun ride since release.
