The wine is a brilliant, translucent vermillion in colo with a tinge of rust at the edge of the glass. The bouquet is huge: I’m thinking black rapberry with deeper cassis notes. In the initial flavor there are some terroir-based vegetal notes with a long raspberry presence, mid-palate. A very young and powerful wine, the alcohol, tannins and acidity are impatiently waiting to marry with the huge fruit presence. Yes, this 2022 vintage deserves a year or three in cellar but my wife and I really enjoyed it with crab cakes we made with Dungeness crabs we harvested that morning from the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Columbia. Life is good!
You and Nigel
