Amassed from multiple vineyard blocks and clones, this wine has turbulent wavy texture like a class III river rapid running perpendicular to the tongue. Across the mid-palate and to the finish, the wine takes on pixelated texture of medium sized river rock moving toward a din of whitewater noise. Expressing Autumn, the 2019 The Sum leads with cracked black pepper, leaf duff, allspice, and brown sugar on the nose, with everlasting bramble on the finish. 50% whole-cluster fermentation bolsters the wine, sustaining the tannic imprint with wavy texture on the finish. 394 cases produced. | Zena Crown

...fresh with red raspberry, cinnamon, and fresh herbs. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with grenadine, orange peel, and baking spice. | 93 points, Audrey Frick for jebdunnuck.com
