Let’s see:
Single vineyard
45-year old vines
A fantastic vintage
A reputable producer
Aged in American and French oak barrels for 22 months, 25% new
Additional 6 years in bottle age (at time of purchase)
How is $15 per bottle possible?!
The wine itself is fantastic as well. Ripe black plum, blueberry, licorice, cinnamon, black tea leaf, and hint of dried mushroom on the nose. Supple and balanced. No rush but very delicious now.

Dec 2nd, 2024I’ve been impressed by the ageability of the winery’s inexpensive bottling, and this is no exception.
The nose is deep and welcoming, with blueberry pie, plum, licorice, dark chocolate, warm spice, and just touch of barnyard. The palate, while not complex, is warm and plush with balanced flavors. Silky tannins.
This will have the staying power for another 5-8 years. Can’t ask for more for a $15 bottle!
