Oyster shell and crushed granite dominate the nose, with white pepper adding spice. The palate shows impressive tension between mineral precision and surprising depth. Lime zest and wet stone carry through the focused finish. This high-density planting from Mt. Pajaro shows exceptional potential for development.
