Bright ruby. Red and dark berry preserve aromas are complemented by notes of rooty sassafras, olive and smoky Indian spices. Sweet raspberry and cherry flavors stain the palate and pick up a spicy quality with air, along with a note of licorice. Shows good energy and freshness, finishing on a note of candied flowers.

Score 87-88/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jan 2010

Bright ruby. Exotic aromas of cherry pie, incense, bacon fat and violet. Modestly concentrated but fresh and focused, with red berry, cherry, mineral and candied flower flavors and good back-end cut. Finishes on a tangy note, with a hint of smoky minerals.

Marsanne + Roussanne. First vintage under screwcap. Smoky apricots. Crystalline purity and arrow-like persistence and yet with elegant ctirus fruit. Fine and long. Very impressive length. Delicious. (JH)
