This wine does not shy away from dark-fruited richness. Its aromatics of boysenberry, blackberry, and peppercorns are generous and intoxicating. The sedimentary soils of the Chehalem Mountains showcase minerality, a true expression of Silice's terroir. The palate is medium-bodied and fully fruited with underlying notes of mint tea and cardamom. Accompanying the powerful tannins is an irresistible succulence. We are eagerly awaiting how this wine will evolve in the coming years.
