Mineral-driven intensity meets polished extraction. Dark cherry, pencil shavings and sage brush build to a palate of serious concentration. The tannins grip firmly but with refinement, framing layers of blackcurrant and mountain herbs. This captures Santa Cruz Mountains' austere power beautifully. Needs five years minimum. Drink 2025-2040.
