Oh man. Old school valdigue FTW. Should have bought more of this spicy berry and wet stone concoction. Killer juice, Rorick!

Fruit is defined and concentrated; cranberry, strawberry, roses, black tea, beets, stones. Bright acid and soft tannins make this super approachable. Delicious stuff

Oct 1st, 2018Wow! Hard to believe this is a California wine. Major win for terroir here. Juice obviously coming from old vines that are respected completely in farming practice and transparent winemaking hands. Minerals are beautiful in this with a nice complexity and very well balanced fruit. Reminds me of cru Beaujolais and light terroir driven CdR blended. I feel privileged to have a few bottles and privileged to have this vision happening here in California! 👍🏼
