This wine was a lot of fun, upon tasting, playing peek-a-boo back and forth between ripe Oregon and Burgundian styles. The nose offers a vivid burst of wild flowers, orchids and roses (amidst other garden florals I probably am not fully familiar with), followed by dry dusted pecan-covered strawberries and a hint of spearmint leaf. The palate is expansive, beginning with juicy dessert strawberries powdered lightly with toasted confection sugar. It then see-saws into notes of autumnal leaves and wisps of mushroom cap. Bitter nuts maintain a nice finish, and the wine breathes with elegance, playfulness, and zest. It’s a wonderful offering and what it lacks in outright intensity, it makes up for in nuance. Likely to be appealing across a wide spectrum of palates. 91 pts.
