WineDiva's Review

Jubilant, generous, fragrant.
The Vista's Edge Vineyard is located in Oliver East at an elevation of 330-386 MASL. The soil here is sandy loam with seams of subsoil gravel.
It's a stunning example of this varietal, and was aged 15 months in French oak (25%) new.
Aromas of boysenberries and dusty red plums are layered with fine spice, vanilla, cedar chips and dark cocoa. Despite it's supple weight and generosity on the palate it has levity and a jubilant character. The structure is here as is the very important balance.
