Winery Notes:
The perfumed nose of Memorious lies halfway between roasted strawberry and black cherry, set against a backdrop suggestive of a blooming flower garden, a pinch of fresh pipe tobacco, and bitter, but not too-dark chocolate. Upon first sip, a lush cloud of fine, sweet tannins coats the mouth, juxtaposing the wine’s silkiness of texture with its durable, coiled strength.
The quiet intensity detectable in the mid-palate leads inevitably to a long and persistent finish. Even in its youth the wine is complex and approachable, but will have a long life in bottle

This very young wine possesses an immensely layered profile, so expect lots of exciting evolution in the years to come. Dense aromas of bay leaf, wild mint, damp peppercorns and yerba santa relay the stem inclusion on the nose. Tense, angular tannins frame the palate, where muddled elderberry and plum flavors play against the intense herbaceousness. Drink 2025–2040.
