  The fruit from this marquee site is elusive at first, offering light wisps of rose petal and bay, earthy and spicy in equal waves. Around its richness of tart cherry are elements of pomegranate, orange zest and tea. It's a wine of great complexity and counterbalance, with a leng…

  The vineyard is relatively new, and the block from which this wine was made is entirely Dijon clone 777. It's a rich, fruit-forward wine, brimming with crushed cherry pulp and black raspberries, to which charred oak barrels have lent richer notes of mocha. The wine also is quite…
