Volcanic precision meets Burgundian soul in this transcendent Sonoma Coast expression.
Opens with crushed framboise and wet forest floor. Dense yet ethereal. Black cherry liqueur mingles with loamy earth and exotic spice box aromatics. Palate delivers extraordinary concentration without weight. Silky tannins frame dark fruit core. Mineral spine cuts through richness. Iron undertones speak to volcanic soils. Complex spice cascade - cardamom, star anise, white pepper. Finish extends endlessly. Raspberry essence lingers with earthy funk. This 2014 captures Helen Turley's vision perfectly. Drink now for opulence or cellar fifteen years for tertiary magic. Pure Sonoma Coast terroir in liquid form. Haunting and profound.
๐ท You seek Burgundian elegance with California power and have deep pockets for transcendent experiences.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Herb-crusted rack of lamb, Wild mushroom risotto, Aged Gruyรจre with truffle honey
