Review:
Planted on phylloxera-resistant 3309C rootstock, the 2016 The Widowmaker en Chamberlin Vineyard has a black-fruited nose with a tight core of dusty flowers. The wine is full-bodied and lush on the palate, with a tight minerality that will make this quite age-worthy. It's balanced yet still tight on the mid-palate, with a long, lingering finish. This is a beautiful and generous wine that delivers pleasure with a lush and dusty expression. Only 232 cases made. Drink 2020-2040.

Review:
Supple and elegantly structured, with rich black cherry, violet and smoky olive flavors that take on dimension toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2024. 232 cases made.
