The fragrant, medium-high intensity nose is elegantly aromatic with red berry, raspberry, herbs, red licorice, cherry, and smoky-stony mineral aromas with touches of floral and earth. On the dry, light-to-mid weighted palate it offers juicy and ripe raspberry, herbal, cherry, earthy mineral flavours that are backed by fresh, well-balanced acidity and light, dusty textured tannins. It has very nice interplays between the berry fruit, savoury mineral & herbal characters, with the mineral notes lingering through to the long-lasting, gently chalky textured finish. Tasted Aug. 2023. Score: 91+ pts

Very good frappato, much in the lighter pinot noir style. All in the red fruit spectrum, like cranberry and tart cherry, with hints of smokiness in the mix. Light bodied but fine flavour intensity and complexity. For near term drinking. tasted Feb 2024.
