Product details
Crafted from the finest sites across four distinct sub-districts of the Russian River Valley, this 2023 creation reflects over twenty-five years of dedicated vine cultivation and intimate knowledge of the land. Fruit is drawn from valley floors, coastal ridges, and high-elevation vineyards, each contributing unique characteristics—richness from the valley, bright acidity from the ridges, and vibrant coastal notes. The late and cool 2023 season allowed the fruit to develop full nuance and intensity while maintaining crystalline purity, resulting in a multi-layered expression that captures the essence of the region with remarkable precision and elegance.
The sensory experience is defined by soaring aromatic intensity, combining white flowers, thyme, aniseed, ginger, and bright citrus. The palate is taut yet deep, with lively flavors of lime juice, white peach, hazelnut, and briny green olive, all supported by mineral-driven acidity that balances its natural richness. Its texture is broad and resonant, carrying through to a long, expressive finish with lingering echoes of citrus oil and oyster shell. This creation offers both immediate enjoyment and the ability to develop further complexity over many years, providing a rich and engaging journey from start to finish.
