Critic Ratings
Wine Enthusiast Review – Rated 94:
This vineyard sits on red basalt soils. As the springtime name implies, it’s the most delicate of the lot. An enticing cherry-juice hue, it’s vibrant, bursting with primary red-berry fruit and backed by gentle spice and dried-floral aromas. The palate is medium weight, but fills the mouth with more plump, juicy berries. There’s length and elegance here, and tannins are fine and well-placed, but this is a fruit show at the moment: Those more complex meaty aromas will need another few years before they show up to the party. — Christina Pickard
