Wow! This is a beautiful wine that is drinking well now. Decanted and let it breathe for an hour before dinner. Gorgeously alluring nose of violets and mellow spice. The palate is soft, earthy cherry fruit and sous bois.
My first experience with this monopole from which both red and white wines are produced. Highly recommended ...
2011 Brittan Vineyards Basalt Block
Seems painfully young compared to the Clos de la Feguine. Very tart at this stage. Food friendly sour cherry with hints of anise. Light in color. Needs another few years of cellaring.
