Much more fruit loaded and rounded than the Santa Cruz Mountains release

This second vintage under the Kinsman Eades label delivers waves of ripe cherries and a complex mix of baking spices joined by gentle oak undertones

There is ample minerality suffusing the more powerful and appealingly textured flavors that also coat the mouth with dry extract while buffering the very firm but not hard tannic spine on the hugely long finish

The 2010 Barolo Arborina shows a strong fruit profile with cherry and cassis that sets it apart from the 2009 vintage that is extremely generous in floral tones of crushed flower and rose
