An elegant, lithe expression of deep, rock-strewn Jory soils, the 2013 Block 14 is a pretty, ethereal, lifted wine. It’s pop music and cool jazz; it snaps its fingers to the beat. A svelte and feminine counterpart to the burlier Slope, Block 14 lives in the red fruit spectrum, exuding flowers and brine. Yet the wind-borne tannin of Eola-Amity Hills still announces itself—scaffolding that will lend shape for years in the cellar.
