From the winery, "Earthy from the start with immediate warm, damp soil on the nose followed by seedy raspberry, bright blood orange and more lovely, earth and spice notes. The baker is light on its feet, but with structure built around succulent texture and brightness of acidity. The combination makes for easy and pleasurable drinking right away. With some time open, the beautiful whole-cluster character reveals itself and lifts the aromas and flavors. At around 13% alcohol, this wine’s complexity, depth and length are extraordinary, indicating the quality of the site and tiny berries we find common on the Philo Ridges heading west to Elk on the Mendocino Coast. Drink now – decanted with air - and for 10 years."
