Blank Stare slowly frosts a glass with a green gold core and flashes of the Emerald City. Bright tropical aromatics of passion fruit, pink guava, gooseberry and mangosteen dominate the nose. As the wine enters the palate, the sensation is taut with notes of lime zest, key lime pie and Anjou pear with crisp acidity through the finish.

The 2024 Mannequin opens with a gorgeous white gold that slowly fogs up the glass, being served slightly chilled. Aromatic notes of white flowers, key lime and praline come through with a touch of caramel. The palate is generous and bright with a vein of acidity throughout and notes of Meyer lemon, apricot, white pepper and graham cracker. Closing at length, hints of white peach and peanut brittle bow out gracefully.

Dominating aromatics abound without effort—notes of blackberry pie, black plum, sage and lilac come from the glass. A flooding sensation on entry drives dark fruits onto the mid-palate with touches of savory, fennel and licorice as complements. Long on the finish, the espresso bean and continued concentration of blackberry throughout fades slowly with gentle and soft tannins.

The deep core pulls one into the glass of the 2024 Bloodlines, complemented by a neon fuchsia rim. Aromatically, the wine exudes notes of pluot, boysenberry, blackcurrant, black pepper and leather. As the wine opens, further complexity is revealed highlighted by a rocky perfume. Taut and balanced with acidity, the palate fills with rich notes of blackberry, lavender and a lengthy close of drying tannins.

What first catches the eye is the opaque mauve core paired with a vivid fuchsia as it approaches the rim. Coating the glass, the 2024 Eight Years in the Desert opens with aromatics reminiscent of a black plum and boysenberry galette, Tellicherry peppercorn, cedar and musk. Taut yet supple on the entry, the palate exudes notes of wild blackberry, crispy pluot, a hint of fennel and slate. Pleasing texture on the finish, the soft framing tannins lead into a close of milk chocolate covered raspberry.
