WineSaint
Saline and tightly wound, showing the distinctive character of Monterey shale. Orchard fruit and white pepper emerge through layers of crushed stone, building to a palate-coating finish with impressive phenolic grip. More substantial and structured than neighboring Alpine Vineyard. Needs several years to open fully.
