Earth and umami characters are signatures of the Sequitur vineyard, at 200m with vines planted in 2012 and 13. The structure and clonal mix are unique with at least 50% California heirloom clones like Swann, Calera, and Rochioli and they are balanced by the Dijon clones. Aromatically beguiling, with deep rich soil tones, black and blue bramble fruits on a hot day and notes of exotic brown spices and smoke. The umami notes continue on the palate, an array of mushrooms and turned earth, envelope dark plum, fig and hints of smoky cinnamon. The wine saw no whole cluster in 2022. (CP)
