03 Ken Wright Cellars, Meredith Mitchell Vineyard

Chalky, briney, butterscotch nose. Round cherry fruit with smoky apples, brine, and oyster shells on the palate. Salty sea breeze and acidic red fruit, with decent structure. Not too hot. Evolves quite nicely, drinking well at such a young age. Dry tart cherry, currant, and apple brandy finish.
