From the producer’s estate property in Freestone, this is so, so good—an impressive wine that lingers in rose, cherry and vanilla. It has strong underlayers of forest and baking spice along with a shock of white pepper, lavender and buzzy, fresh acidity. Moderate in ripeness, it offers complex structure and makes a lasting impression.
