2015 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #73
This is the first planting here in 1991. There were preexisting vines at the vineyard that were torn down by the owner. This was also harvested before the rains of the 2013 harvest and utilizes Dijon clones 115 and 667 as well as Pommard clones. This was aged 8 months in 42% new French oak prior to being bottled in August 2014. This has aromas of oak, red cherry, nutmeg, raspberry and vanilla. There are flavors of cherry pie, mushroom, cran-raspberry, with lovely texture and weight. This is one of the best I’ve had from this vintage, as this utilizes the wonderful interplay between fruit and terroir. This is drinking beautifully now but will improve with a couple of years in the bottle. (Best 2017-2030) - November, 2015 (OB)
