Ancient landslides and earthquakes yielded both the name “Landslide” and the three distinct sections that make up the vineyard. This is a very pretty wine indeed, with bright aromatics laced with dark plum, cassis, cedar, mild tobacco, with some floral/herbal nuances. Fresh, ripe black cherry, blackberry, some toasty new oak nuances and a grind of pepper on the long, supple finish. Perfectly balanced, this wine is approachable but should develop further with mid-term cellaring.
