Tasting notes
Deep ruby. An explosively perfumed bouquet displays ripe boysenberry, cherry liqueur, licorice pastille and sandalwood scents and a smoky mineral topnote gains strength with air. Stains the palate with sweet, oak-spiced black and blue fruit, spicecake and vanilla flavors that show impressive vivacity for their depth. Smooth, slow-building tannins add grip to the finish, which hangs on with outstanding, dark-fruit-driven persistence.

The 2011 VS was produced with the same grapes in 2010, but the differences of the growing season makes this 2011 more exuberant, showing upfront fruit with very polished tannins and a little riper. There are aromas of Mediterranean herbs, and it is soft and accessible, with good balance and length. This is a very worthy 2011. 25,000 bottles produced.
