Tasting Note: Rich, concentrated and muscular, yet wonderfully balanced with big tannins and deep tiers of cherry, plums and wild berries, and nuances of spice, vanilla and licorice. A long flavorful aftertaste echoes with juicy fruit and mouthwatering tannins for minutes afterwards. Sensual and young, this wine promises a long life in the bottle.
Accolades: This red is alluring for the ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit, gaining complexity from a mineral undercurrent, vanilla and toasty new oak. Firms up on the finish, displaying the vintage's austerity, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit, mineral and spices. Best from 2025 through 2036. 330 cases made, 200 cases imported. -BS
