Tasting Notes

W&S93

Once past the gingerbread spice and subtle oak presence, the 2013 Fire is like a platonic statement of Jory and Nekia soil expression, its pulpy red-cherry fruit given a dusty lift from that red-dirt grippiness. The tannin-acid structure is at once subtle and gentle, propping up a ferrous, volcanic minerality that lends grace, length and even lift to a subtly assertive wine.

V92

Vivid red. Raspberry, candied rose, cola and blood orange on the intensely perfumed nose. Silky, sweet and open-knit, offering an array of red fruit flavors complicated by notes of spicecake and floral pastille. Shows very good energy and focus on the clinging finish, which features supple tannins and an echo of candied flowers.
