Few bottles remain of our inaugural vintage! Sourced from old vine Pommard plantings with only 656 cases produced. Each bottle is individually numbered by hand.
Deep garnet in color with aromatics of red fruits, spice and earth. On the palate more red fruits emerge accented by forest floor, striking minerality, red clay earth and sweet baking spices. The palate is plush and full-bodied with integrated tannins, balanced acidity and a lingering finish.
Focused notes of florals, including violet and lavender, flow into ripe red fruits of cherry and raspberry accented by nutmeg and cedar aromas. The palate is satin textured over an elegant frame of bright acidity and firm tannins surround mouth-filling flavors of cranberry, earth and savory herbs.
