The 21 vintage from KR Ranch (formerly Keefer), planted in the 1980s, is a former apple orchard. These are the oldest vines Akiko works with 777 and Swiss clone 23. The wine is fleshy and blue-fruited with rose petal potpourri from the Wadenswil, and on the palate, there are loads of blue berries that retain elegance with clove spice. There is a smokiness in the palate with violets, crushed slate and elements of graphite minerality. (Freeman sticks to 25-30% new oak even with vintage variation.)
