the eponymous winemaker of this brand is based in san francisco, from which, in this bottling, he turns out a stunner. focused, intense, energetic and yet delicate, the nose is full of just-ripe raspberries, bay leaf, thyme, eucalyptus and chipped slate. a sip reveals crushed herbs galore, from oregano to anise, set against tart pomegranate and red plums. menthol shows on the finish.
