Dense reddish/purple. Butter, floral and sugared (vanilla?) red fruit notes in nose. Cherry, blackberry and violet flavors, citrus-orange finish. Some skin astringency. Slight tartness but balanced. One hour later, barrel smoke emerges. Fresh young operation in Wilcox AVA, Cochise County AZ. Pretty good red, on point for varietal character.
