13% abv (nice!!!)
Medium weight wine ...sour cherry and pomegranate with hints of allspice on the palate. Pop and pour into decanter...seems a bit monolithic at first.
Opens up after a couple of hours into a beauty... palate expands with hints of blood orange and anise .. Exemplary complexity for such a young wine .... whole cluster ?
Day 3 notes:
Brambly red and blue fruit... very satisfying savory finish that makes you pick up the glass again for another sip. Rich flavor and complexity without weight. Spice and subtle fennel notes. A winemaker at the top of her game. Easily competes with the better 1er cru wines from Burgundy.
Paired deliciously on day 3 with cold lamb sandwich garnished simply with Coleman's spicy English mustard...
Grapes are sourced from upper Momtazi Vineyard blocks comprised of Pommard clones on Jory and Nekia soils.... 30% to 50% whole cluster depending on the block. 2015 and 2016 vintages were more ripe so 100% whole cluster was utilized.
