Wine Spectator 92 points

“Light, supple and appealing for the mineral notes that harmonize with the cherry and spice flavors, lingering nicely. Drink now through 2018. 1,060 cases.” - HS

Clear garnet in color, this wine exhibits the aromas and flavors of classic Laurelwood and Yamhill series soil profiles, with a touch of Shea Vineyard earthiness. Fresh plums and blueberries dominate the broad palate, with a long, multi-layered finish. Though still young, this wine is already showing a very food-friendly balance of softness and acidity.
