Clearly a wine from a warm, generous season, the 2024 is plush, open-knit and pliant, yet it retains terrific tension, structure and minerality, all the hallmarks of the house style. Dark Berries, underbrush, garrigue, blood orange and white pepper all race across the palate. Stems (about 30% in the aggregate across the blended lots) add lift and textural complexity, leading to an insanely long finish. This is one of the most undeniable over-performers I’ve encountered in a long time. Bravo Nathan Kandler.
