M. Christopher Roebuck

Opaque, deep dark ruby. Blackberry on the nose and palate. Some beets and dried cranberries assemble when held in the mouth. I suspect this would cut a prime rib nicely, but I'm pairing cheese only. Medium weight (need the plus here), medium+ alcohol, medium+ acidity --- way too early for this one. Tannins are tight.

92+ points
