Plump Bing cherry, fresh lavender, cranberry cocktail. Wild blueberry, fallen pine needle, tart Santa Rosa plum. Incredibly ethereal and aromatic bursts of juicy strawberry, blood orange, and pomegranate waft with hauntingly high-toned brilliance while black tea, clove, and jasmine further bolster impressive perfume. Pronounced notes of white rose and blooming flowers contribute layers of supplementary fragrance while cinnamon and coriander emerge to provide delicate and well integrated spice. Impressions of white mushroom, black olive, and tree moss expose subtle yet scintillating natural tones that collide with terroir driven hints of ocean air, calcareous rock, and chalky minerality. Delightfully expressive on both the nose and palate while remaining perfectly delicate and weightless; exhibiting outstanding purity and expression of place in an astoundingly compelling package. Medium in body with moderate tannin brightened by elevated acidity.
