Pretty red fruit in front of sharp acidity that begins mid-palate and dominates the finish. Softer, gentler in front and sharper in back than this year's Ribbon Ridge. My experience with these is the acidity will back off, complexity will fill the vacuum, and around 2028-2030 this'll be really singing.

Ripe / bruised peach up front, then surprisingly lean through the core with good minerality and then a medium-noted finish. Really interesting with that start that suggests flabbiness before the quick surprise mid-palate.

Raspberry and candied strawberry up front, dark low noted core, finishes long on acidity and soft tannin.
