This is one of my favorite subjects/interests in wine and I enjoy hearing opinions from experts such as yourself. I absolutely believe in the concept, but I must admit that it is more based on intuition than cold hard facts. The struggle for me is to differentiate between the effects of man made decisions vs the expression of the land. Even when trying a horizontal of a particular vineyard from different producers, I'm always wondering how dominant the winemaker's hand is. I did have a somewhat revelatory experience last week when I felt like I was truly beginning to understand wines made from Rosella's Vineyard. I'm not very good at explaining it, but it's a sense of recognition and understanding when having a wine made from this amazing vineyard. Obviously I can't wait to try the KB wine from here. I look forward to reading other's opinions and can't thank the KB crew enough for your passion and love that shines through in your wines.
