this loess is definitely more—more concentration, more ripeness, more côte rôtie character than the 2005, but already showing dramatic flavor development. cofermented with 3% viognier, it's a silky wine with flavors of blood, meat and earth dominating. tannins are ripe, and it was barreled in second-fill oak, preserving the natural flavors of the vineyard. clearly the best so far from waters.
