  Incredible savory, meaty minerality reminiscent of pan-fried Bolognese offal and mushroom in a subtle but persistent setting of black fruit. A great match for my wife’s slow-cooked roast beef with root vegetables. Long and meaningful finish that enhances and complements the evening’s other flavors.
  I met Billo and a few of his key staff in Walla Walla last June. He’s bright, creative and focused with a ready and welcoming smile. There’s no doubt they love what they’re doing, and it clearly shows in this cuvée.

  Saline, soy sauce, umami bomb. I could drink an entire bottle in one sitting.
  
  Really don’t have the rocks funk, but has the savory parts of a cool northern rhone vintage.
  
  The new French oak is already integrated and gives it amazing texture.
  
  I don’t know if I would age this personally with fear it would lose the fresh saline quality that sets it apart.
