2001 was a landmark vintage for LCV, as no earlier vintage was as brooding or darkly beautiful. The first wafts of aroma benignly suggest cooked raspberry preserves, licorice whips and garrigue. The grenache is hinted at by way of the bright puffs of raspberriocity and cherry liqueur, although the syrah andmourvèdre are dominant, laying down thick, recumbent panes of flavor vaguely suggesting spice, meatiness, un-named botanicals, and a strong expression of the minerality we have been working so hard to mine.
