Winemaker Notes

Picked first, so spared any smoke impact from the 2020 fires. Nate: “the darkest, most balsamic sour cherries… reminds me of very concentrated Gevrey-Chambertin from Claude Dugat, but in the mouth the similarity ends — surprisingly delicate and charged with energy, like a crossing of Prieuré-Roch with a Robinot Pineau d'Aunis. Explosive acidity and totally staining stone, meat, tannin and mountain herbs.”
