The Story

Written Notes

Macerated cherry, candied peel, and dried flowers. Broad, soft attack with fleshy fruit and ripe, lingering tannins.

  • 96p

Leaning into the natural warmth of the vintage, the 2022 offers a lush, velvety, and open-knit profile. Generous notes of macerated cherries, strawberry confit, dried rosebuds, and blood orange rind dominate the aromatics, underpinned by nuances of licorice and cedar. The palate attack is broad and enveloping, showing sweet fruit depth and an opulent,glyceric mid-palate framed by suave, ripe tannins. Lingering acidity keeps the plushness in check, finishing warm,layered, and scented with dried herbs and spice.

  • 96p

A warm, open-knit hug of a wine. The fruit here is dark and sweet—think strawberry preserves, macerated cherries, and dried rosebuds with a touch of cedar. It rolls over the palate so smoothly that you barely notice the ripe, fine-grained tannins until the very end. It’s lush, comforting, and impossible not to enjoy.
