Bought at winery. Purple-red, light to moderately extracted pigment, very good clarity. Black currant, leather and spearmint notes in nose. Blackberry and cola-ish flavors with menthol-spearmint on finish. Light seed and skin tannins, corresponding bitterness and astringency. Cool climate flavor with great depth of flavors. Yummy-licious almost captures it. Paired exceedingly well with a baseball playoff game on TV and a wild mushroom pizza from a well-known Seattle pizzeria.

Very smooth and elegant. Medium bodied, mature but should hold another few years. Perfect with grilled salmon. Drank 6-26-21.

Black cherry nose. Some sage/herbal leather vanilla too. Candy strawberry flavors that last longish hits mid palate. More tannin than expected. Very nice
