WineSaint
High stem inclusion drives this wine's savory, mineral-driven character at the expense of fruit expression. Dark cherry and graphite emerge slowly through firm tannins and austere structure. The vineyard's rocky backbone dominates, creating a wine that feels more geological than hedonistic at present. Needs considerable time to integrate. Drink 2029-2040.
