Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits with spice, herb and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe cherry and blueberry with currants, cacao, cinnamon and tobacco notes. Fine tannins, good structure, long finish, great mouthfeel, ending with cedar, fruit and tobacco vanilla notes. Very Nice. Will benefit from aging!

Soft and smooth for being such a young wine. Baking spices and tasty black fruit. Lovely wine

Introduced to me by @Skip Smyser years ago. The 2019 continues to impress with dark fruit and baking spices. Lots of layers and smoother tannins than most Napa reds. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸
