an outstanding effort in a difficult vintage, these old vines (the oldest were planted in 1889) have turned out a super wine. complex aromas and flavors range from smoke, thyme blossom and licorice to apricots and black cherries. this is medium to full in body, with crisp acids and supple tannins that impart a silky feel to the long finish. drink now–2025.
