Bright medium ruby. Vibrant scents of blueberry, boysenberry, violet, licorice and oak spices. Wonderfully plush, even creamy by the standards of this producer, yet still quite primary thanks to lively acidity and inner-mouth violet lift. At once pretty and firmly structured, this ageworthy beauty finishes with very fine-grained, palate-dusting tannins and slowly building fruit. This vineyard did particularly well in 2016, noted owner Marty Clubb, who harvested it late. While this wine's acidity is normally all natural, in '16 the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon components got a quarter-gram per liter acidification. (ST)
