Wine Spectator
Sleek and full of tension, with tightly focused flavors of cherry and raspberry accented by crushed stone, forest floor and toasty spice elements that end with fine-grained tannins.
James Suckling
Bright and energetic aromas of red cherries, raspberry coulis, violets and spice. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins and balanced acidity. Still quite restrained and tightly wound, this will open up in the coming years. Drink or hold.
Discover the Vineyard
The Iron Filbert vineyard, located in the Dundee Hills appellation, faces south and features iron-rich volcanic soil embedded with basalt boulders deposited by the glacial flow of the Missoula floods.
These soils contribute to developing a vibrant profile, imparting a distinctive minerality that enhances the wine providing excellent structure and longevity.
