Purple hues in the glass coming clean with a whiff of alcohol. Bold and richly structured paving the way for huckleberry, herbs de providence, and smokey cappuccino. Midpalate shows its youthfulness which I like, accents of tea and cedar. Tannins hold strong and fleshy, yet very soft mouthfeel. Served at room temp. Lovely wine.

Paired with a NY strip and all I can say is wow! Solid stand alone wine but get some meat in your mouth and you won’t be disappointed.
