This wine displays aromas of deep, concentrated red fruits (Bing cherry, strawberry and sweet cranberry) along with intense mineral notes of sea shell, and wet stones and a fascinating mélange of fresh and dried herbs (bay leaf, anise, thyme, tarragon) and smoky nori. On the palate the wine is rich, yet measured, as concentrated fresh red fruits intermingle with herbs and stones in a light to medium bodied frame. A solid tannic spine and notable, tangy acids provide citrus notes and intrigue, and the wine dances across the palate to a satisfying, contemplative finish.
