this is from the vineyard that surrounds the winery, and the bottling receives both estate and dundee hills designations—best of the best. it's a pungent, pleasant wine upon entry, with rather pale strawberry fruit. it quickly moves through the midpalate and turns lean, with tomato leaf and green tea astringency. there is a slight impression of alcoholic heat. though accessible and interesting, it somehow falls short of what it could/should be, given its provenance and price.
