This wine comes from a small one-acre vineyard in the western part of Sonoma, owned by Bill and Lauren Hipp. The 2013 is a fantastic effort, which opens to gorgeous aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, savory herb, and fresh florals, woven together with exotic spices, and a mix of earthy like nuances. This has a excellent structure and an elegant character, which is backed by a core of racy acidity and freshness. Overall, this wine shows wonderful poise and focus through the very end. While this is showing well today, I expect it will continue to evolve with some additional bottle age. (Best 2016-2026) - October, 2016 (MD)
