Chill lightly Expert Comments: by Michael Gobel, John Szabo, MS and David Lawrason, of WineAligh From cool climate, sandy limestone soil and sea-proximate and breezy location. Polished and composed; speaks in clear, succinct and knowable varietal tones, the kicks into high acid gear while real meatness prevails, a solid drop no doubt; The joy is all in the fresh blackberry-cassis fruit.
