Nose

Complex aromas of toffee, ripe black cherries, black
licorice, tobacco, Christmas spice, and cocoa.

Palate

On the palate
it’s a classic Bordeaux beauty, at once dense and
approachable with flavors of grenadine, black tar, and
cherry pie that dance over a weave of chewy silky tannins.
Extremely balanced, the finish lasts for minutes, resonating
a fine mix of plum, cinnamon, and pomegranate. For
long-term aging. (Best now through 2028.)

Growing Conditions

Arthur Spencer and his family farm this vineyard 100% organically. The result is stunning Bordeaux fruit that draws all its cues from superior soils and microclimates. Arthur sets the bar high and our goal is to reveal this exquisite terroir in every bottling.

An altogether elegant and sophisticated
wine.
