I've always been impressed by the imports in the Fourth Wave portfolio. This is the first domestic wine I have seen from them and it is quite simply a stunning debut.
Candied orange peel and small berry juiciness bound up with some furtive black plum, dark cherry and a hint of stalky/ woody elements. At turns dark and brooding; yet also light and fresh. Light and dark, night and day.
Entry shows further complexity, medium weight, smooth and seamless on entry - then it shifts gear: delivering cherry, layered complexity and a modicum of spice.
Persistence par excellence, I was in raptures at this point, a complex mix of fruit and spice - yet achieved with balance and poise. Oh and that length, quite simply outstanding. Did i mention it is $25 per bottle? 94 - Outstanding
