Remarkably cherryish – an unusual aromatic marker in this vintage. The palate is really quite tight, taut, with marked acidity, herbal aromatics and textural grip. The freshness and intensity are palpable. This has great clarity, brightness and serious energy. Very grippy, and the acidity is sharp. No oak is used during maturation. HVE-certified in the vineyard.

A sleek, winey version, with a perfumed lift to its black cherry notes, while a gentle brush of oak polish and singed alder rounds off the edges. Elegant and well-packed, this gets its energy from a chalky mineral streak that runs through the snappy, pleasingly dusty finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2034.

“A friendly version, with cherries jubilee, hazelnut and cinnamon notes mixed together, all braced by a sandalwood frame through the finish. Drink now.”

“Juicy and fresh-edged, with a mix of gently mulled red and black cherry fruit streaked with hazelnut and sandalwood accents. Ends with a dusting of allspice on the generous finish. Drink now.”

“Suave and polished in feel, with hazelnut cream and pecan accents draped over a core of mulled cherry and dried currant flavors. Warm baking spices echo on the finish, which lingers steadily. Drink now.”
