REVIEWS:

•  The Wine List 15th bestseller in 2023 
• 92James Suckling    Aromas of raspberry, watermelon, crushed stone, nutmeg and lemon. Medium-bodied with tight tannins and bright acidity. Wild and mineral at the end. Sustainable. Drink or hold.
• 90Wine Enthusiast    A subtle and floral nose offers violets, cherries and blackberries with soil and crushed stones underfoot, while the palate turns leathery and meaty before cherries and medicinal notes of wild herbs and fennel join. Tannins are approachable and a streak of acid keeps everything bright.

Timing: 5-10 years
