“It’s ultra rare to see 100% whole bunch in Cabernet, but if anyone can pull it off, enigmatic, artisanal producer Timo Mayer can. By deriving tannin structure from the fruit and not from heavy oak, it allows for a vibrancy and approachability in youth uncommon to this variety. A high-toned nose of tangy red berries, heady florals and cocktail bitters makes you want to dive right in. The palate is fresh and fleshy with a stalky spine and textured, powerful tannins. Hands off yet clean with complexity and sex appeal, there is simply nothing else like it.”– (Editors’ Choice)

“Saturated ruby. High-pitched red and dark berry, floral and exotic spice aromas show outstanding clarity and pick up hints of cigar box and smoky minerals with air. At once concentrated and vibrant in character, offering appealingly sweet, incisive bitter cherry, red currant, spicecake and candied rose flavors and a late hint of blood orange. The red fruit and floral notes drive a wonderfully long, spicy finish framed by polished, well-knit tannins. This intriguing wine was made with 100% whole clusters.”
