IX opens with a rich burst of bing cherries & violets, & its deep ruby color & firm legs give a indication of the robust flavor palette to come. High tannins throughout balance the red fruits & foretell promising cellar potential. Elegant underscores of vanilla oak, toasted bread, & sweet cedar, with the merlot in the blend contributing a soft mouthfeel. Slightly earthy with a hint of spice, mint, & white pepper in the finish.
