2014 Trousseau North Coast

The 2014 Trousseau is a pretty wine, but not as open or giving in its youth than has been the case in the past. Today, the structure and overall tannin is dominant, while the fruit is quite shy. This is an especially classically austere wine, so readers should be prepared to cellar bottles for another 6-12 months. Blood orange, crushed flowers, spice, dried rose petal and anise add the final shades of nuance. The Trousseau is a blend of fruit from three sites; Luchsinger, Bohan Ranch and Bartolomei.
