91 Points | Wine Enthusiast - This estate reserve is produced from biodynamic grapes. It's sweet and spicy, with concentrated raspberry fruit, baking spice and hints of toasted coconut. A touch riper than the previous vintage, it's already drinking well.

Winemaking Notes

A warm winter yielded bud break three weeks earlier than normal and lead into bloom under exceptional weather conditions. A dry and hot summer was broken up by rain in late August, and favorably cooled down in September in time to result in one of the earliest harvests on record. The grapes at harvest were extraordinary in quantity and quality, offering ripeness, balance, and expressive flavor.
