A pale crimson hue and slightly opaque, the 2024 Trousseau reflects the rugged, high-elevation slopes of Alder Springs, where rocky soils and cool nights preserve vibrancy. Aromas of iron, rhubarb, heritage red rose, and hibiscus unfold with striking clarity. The palate shows pomegranate seed, juicy red fruit, and tart cherry lifted by ripe pluot notes. Supple tannins frame the mid-palate, delivering both brightness and depth. Structured yet elegant, the wine feels more complex and harmonious than the varietal often suggests, leaving a lasting impression of balance and poise.
