This blend is dominated by the Kanzler Estate Vineyard, yet there is a significant percentage of Mes Filles—their most coastal vineyard—which bends the 2021 vintage in a fresh yet earthy direction: Just-picked blueberries in a terracotta saucer left on a windowsill in the sun. Black raspberry, ripe strawberry, a kiss of tarragon and white pepper.
WINE SPECTATOR 94 POINTS - "Ripe, with deliciously succulent waves of plum, boysenberry and mulberry fruit rolling through, laced with iris and hibiscus notes and ending with light anise and apple wood hints on the finish. Packs a nice finishing kick of fruit at the end, too, while keeping a racy edge."
