Bright purple. Ripe dark berries, pungent flowers, olive paste and cracked pepper on the perfumed nose. Chewy and energetic on the palate, offering intense blackberry and bitter cherry flavors underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Finishes on a smoky note, with repeating dark fruit character, rounded tannins and strong tenacity. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2020)

May 7th, 2020Inky ruby. Mineral-accented aromas of fresh boysenberry, cherry, violet and olive paste pick up a smoky nuance in the glass. Deep-pitched black and blue fruit flavors reveal licorice, mocha and floral accents as the wine stretches out. Powerful but lively as well, finishing with repeating olive and floral character and slowly emerging, dusty tannins. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2019)
