On the nose, rustic style mixed red fruits & blueberries, loamy soils, tea, a core of dark currants, licorice and fresh dark florals. The palate reveals a little more oak use. M body with M-M+ tannins. Fruits are a blend of blue fruits, dry cranberry & rhubarb, dry crushed rocks, wood shavings, steeped tea, touch of saline, violets, roses and a long, lean, beautiful, elegant finish that holds.
