Mountain-grown intensity meets surprising finesse in this stellar Alexander Valley expression.
Dense blackcurrant floods the glass. Mountain herbs add savory complexity. Espresso notes emerge mid-palate, backed by slate minerality. Violet florals provide elegant lift. Tannins grip without overwhelming. Long, concentrated finish reveals excellent structure. Will evolve beautifully through 2030.
