Awards/Ratings
Wine Advocate 94 (David Schildknecht); Burghound 95; listed on Vinous

Tasting Note
Concentrated dark cherry and black berry with forest-floor, savory meatiness, sea‑spray minerality, spice and polished silken tannins; very long saline finish.

Food Pairing
Roast duck, roast lamb, braised beef or short ribs, game birds, mushroom risotto; Peking duck, char siu, Korean BBQ short ribs, shiitake mushroom hotpot.

Production Method
Certified biodynamic viticulture, hand-harvested with very low yields; native-yeast fermentations, partial whole-cluster, élevage in oak with judicious new wood.
