The tiny yields have created a wine with truly amazing density, intense body, structure and acidity! While some of the warmth and richness of the vintage is present, the acidity, and earthy components are still brought forward by the cool site.
Nose: The nose mixes wild-strawberry (the berries and the whole vine!), black cherry, candy-cane beets, and soil in equal measure, layering over a background of river stones, fallen leaves and smoked meat.
Palate: On the palate, with plenty of air, the wine unfolds even more showing intense black cherry, cured meat, beet root, roast drippings backed by tomacco (tomato-leaf and tobacco!), basil and underbrush.
Finish: Leaning towards full-bodied with loads of core structure & tannin, it is full and vibrant with excellent acidity and tannin that will easily help it last for a decade.
Pairing: . It is a perfect, classic example of Beamsville Bench terroir.
