Dark berry fruit meets savory olive and violet in this cool-climate expression from Miller Vineyard. The palate shows admirable restraint. Spiced raspberry and blackberry wrapped around a mineral core, with anise threading through. Concentrated but never heavy, finishing clean on red fruit. The estate's 2005 (non-vineyard designated) leans more northern Rhône with smoke, pepper and dark fruit intensity.
