Not sure I have any superlatives left for this little wine. Numerous bottles over the past few years have been in my sweet spot. Last night, perhaps the best showing, which is what I said about the last bottle I opened.
One of the best showings after several bottles of that I thought were best showings. That funky-haunting earthiness I get from Joe's Sleepys, and some herbal notes on the nose. Expansive mouthfeel that is marked by pure dark red fruit, spice box, and a just a hint of roasted fruit sweetness. Nice acidity that still lingers and focuses the midpalate. Persistent finish with some residual sweet tannins and notes of coffee and peppery spice. Drinking so well. Widely available for under $25 on release. Bravo.
The vineyard is quite contemporary. I like the gloomy scene in the fall. In all, good tasting wine.
