Arborina in a generous vintage. Dried rose, crushed red berry, fresh mint and orange peel lead, with dried herbs and white pepper adding lift. The aromatics are high-toned and expressive, more openly fruited than this vineyard typically offers. What stands out is the tannin structure: the site's characteristic bite is noticeably softened here, lending the wine an accessibility that makes it inviting earlier than usual without sacrificing its identity. Drink now through 2035.
