Deep baked raisiny goodness across a sweet baked goods nose of late harvest fruit. Pleasantly acidic across a complex and lasting palate. Deep bourbon body with astringent finish. Embrace the deep old vine. Keeps getting better.

Rich jammy concentrates intense lovely wine. But not hot like an overdone Zin. Joe dry farms then ages his wines a year longer than most. The final product is simply incredible.
