The 2021 holds many stories, including joyfully mild weather, small yields of phenomenal fruit, and the histories of 14 vineyards. It also has its own narrative of bright fruit driven by a core of blueberry, cassis, dark chocolate-covered espresso bean, Asian spice, and graphite. This is a great example of the vintage.

Offers a frankly toasty frame of licorice and apple wood wrapped around a more than adequate core of plum and black currant preserves, all laced with a violet note. Sleek and reserved through the finish, with an iron hint peeking out amid the fruit, this offers length and a lovely mouthfeel and should develop well in the cellar while soaking up its toast. Best from 2026 through 2038. 3,500 cases made.
