In her third vintage on the job, winemaker Kate Goodman's cool-climate roots and lighter touch shine on this wine. It leads with a fragrant nose of strawberry and raspberry preserves, mocha, dried flowers, anise and other wild, sweet-smelling herbs and some vanillin oak notes. For all those sweet-smelling aromas, the palate is taut and focused, even lean. Tannins are chalky and drying right to the finish, but juicy berries keep things bright. It's a lovely medium-bodied style for tannin lovers that could cellar through 2027. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
