A distinctly cool and ultra-elegant nose of restrained and exceptionally fresh mineral-infused red pinot fruit gives way to stone-inflected tightly focused and delineated middle weight plus flavors that are beautifully tension-filled. This possesses a beguiling personality as there's real verve and punch on the delicious but linear finish where more minerality surfaces. This strikingly persistent effort is not only classy but seriously lovely as the sense of harmony is second to none in this group. Moreover because this is a wine of refined power it could actually be enjoyed now though it seems a shame to waste so much upside potential.

Just a hint of chewiness marks this otherwise supple cherry- and berry-infused red. Overall there's a sense of restraint and elegance with a lingering mineral finish. The tannins need time to be absorbed. Best from 2013 through 2025. 4 cases imported. -BS
