Sleek and refreshing like an alpine lake in late July, the 2016 Conifer exemplifies summer with red fruit, floral femininity and great acidity. Pine sap, plumb, lifted rose and zebra stripe gum aromas give way to ripe strawberry, porcini mushrooms and herbs de Provence flavors in the mouth. This wine beads on the palate like morning dew on a bivouac sack. It is gracefully commanding and shaped like a fat arrow.
