One of the most wild Pinot Noir's we carry here. It's grown under Muscadet, right on the coast where the wind makes the vines cling to the schist saturated ground. The wine has very tart, intense acidity with berry fruit and just a touch of volatility. Truly unique and expressive.

An old-school version, showing brick dust, roasted chestnut, game and singed cedar notes around a core of dried cherry and red currant fruit. The burly finish lets pepper and game accents play out. Lacks the fleshy, opulent profile of the vintage but maintains an appealing character.

A tour de force, brilliantly combining espresso and black olive notes with bright raspberry fruit, while dark earthy notes provide a solid base. The feel on the palate is ample, with tannins that are a bit dusty but not tough or chewy. The long, mouthwatering finish bodes well for the future.

2011 was a vintage of abundance. Ideal springtime weather led to a hot summer, which gave us a beautiful, uniform and potentially prolific crop. Harvest went off without a hitch and we picked the grapes at a deliberate, but frankly leisurely pace, winch allowed focusing on retained acidity.

The percentage of Bobal has increased and they look for a fresher profile, which means the wine has gained in drinkability. There are no more notes of chocolate that were very prominent in 2006, 2007 or 2009; they have taken the Tempranillo out of the blend, a grape that has a tendency to get very ripe in the zone; and the wine is better balanced and focused. The palate shows also some chalkiness (all the grapes now come from vineyards in Finca Terrerazo, where there is a high content in limestone), and a Mediterranean character, but without heat. A very tasty and drinkable Mediterranean red.”

Individual lots spent 13 months aging in 100% French Oak before Abigail hand-selected the final blend.

The entry is big, dark, and brooding with concentrated berry flavors, black cherry, mocha, and delightful earthy, brambly notes.

Creamier and more soothing than the 1998, but brighter and more penetrating as well – a function of further oxidation in cask (although it started life in tank.) It is also far more alluring and complex. Cherry preserves, roasted chestnuts, grapefruit marmalade, and wood smoke. Its sweetness and its near-16% alcohol scarcely in evidence.
