Tasting notes
The 2021 For Her is a dark and brooding effort, still youthfully coiled. Flowery underbrush and exotic spice offset masses of raspberry and dried black cherries. This envelopes the palate with rich, seamlessly silky textures and ripe red and black fruits, taking on a savory edge. Tactile mineral tones add gravitas towards the close. A bounty of salted licorice swirls beneath an air of violet inner florals as the 2021 finishes spicy, potent and incredibly complex. Hands off for now; this is built for the cellar.

The 2021 is a co-fermented blend of 59% Syrah, 30% Graciano and 11% Viognier. It has pure, inviting scents of blackcurrant, blueberry, coffee, milk chocolate, thyme and tea leaves, blossoming to savory and meaty tones as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet, with powdery tannins, focused acidity and a long finish laced with spicy accents. It will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle.
The 2021 For Her is cut from the same cloth as the Cuvée Chloe quality-wise and reveals a dense purple hue as well as a gorgeous perfume of pure black and blue fruits, spring flowers, orange blossom, and candied violets. This wonderfully perfumed, full-bodied red blend has ripe tannins, a deep, layered mid-palate, and outstanding length on the finish. It's another incredible 2021 that's up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. The blend is 50% Syrah, 30% Graciano, and 11% Viognier that spent 14 months in 45% new French oak, with a full 40% in amphora.
