"Deep ruby. Exotic, complex nose features smoky raspberry, black cherry, grilled nuts and an intriguing floral nuance. Juicy, dense and intensely flavored, with impressive sweetness for the year; notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, roast coffee and dill. The acids come across as firm for a wine with a pH of 3.9. The floral character, which comes from the volcanic tufa soil on this very steep, terraced, northeast-facing hillside, repeats on the long finish, which features lush, soft tannins rare for the vintage. Developing nicely; this may not get much additional racking before it is bottled in May, says new winemaker Mark Aubert, who took over from Helen Turley last spring."
