DRC clippings grown at Domaine de La Cote (Sta Rita Hills). First harvest since 2015 planting. Dark and opaque. Nose is extremely expressive and complex to the point where it’s difficult to describe. Brandy soaked maraschino cherries, violets, fennel, herbs, and much more. Silky on the palette with concentrated, long acid. Shows excellent grace and finesse esp for such youth. — 4 years ago

Really salty and acidic in the best way, something different but great! Medium bodied with some heft on the mouthfeel, but a really zesty and briny finish — 3 months ago
