A wine of pure pleasure from winemaker Josh Phelps. A mixed berry fruit and cherry compote rises from the glass, accompanied by hints of candied violets and warm brown baking spices. Medium-bodied, the palate mirrors the aromatics, framed by crisp tannins with velvety edges. The finish lingers with cool graphite minerality, a touch of graham cracker and vanilla, and subtle nuances of crushed cocoa nibs. As I said, pure pleasure.
