Was a much bigger fan of the 2014 vintage of this. Good raspberry and mineral slate depth.

Leather, cherry and a little "damp woods" on the nose. Rich cherry, licorice ... balanced smooth finish... soft. A little sweetness but not sugary. Good with rich foods and spicy food too. $13

Too much alcohol for my taste; felt a bit hot on my throat.

Floral and red fruit nose. First hits the palate as an earthy mild chalk taste that leads to a hickory, leathery, smoky taste. Hint of maple syrup. Smooth finish
