Having never met Joshua Cooper in person but having had many dalliances with his wines, I get the feeling that he's a purist. Each of the wines have a distinct personality and identity. The Shay's Flat is mineral, lean and streamlined, the Dash Farms is brambly, black and flowing, while this 2021 Balgownie Vineyard 1970 Block Cabernet Sauvignon is peaty, shale and layered with graphite. There's a very clear aroma and flavor of undergrowth and autumn leaves in this wine. There's dirt here. It's excellent. As with all of the wines in this release, this is long and undulating and very good. It's impressive and exciting and comes highly recommended.
