Ripe blackberries & dark cherries fruit that are slightly creamed. Fruit stays bright and juicy. A fair amount of dry crushed rock with stones.

Deep ruby almost purple hue. Blackberry bramble, cassis, plum, smoked meat, leather, molasses, anise, fennel, coriander, nutmeg, white pepper, oak, wet earth and stone notes. Strong tannins and consistent palate. Rustic, expressive, and pithy. Paired with a salad sampler. Wine goes especially well with the roasted beets. Vintage 2014. ABV 13.5%.

Nobody got my Christmas vacation reference with my last wine. Not even my wife. I like this wine. Can't quite place what I smell but it tastes real good. Reminds me of a wine I had in Alabama. Go Bama, roll tide!

(16.5+/20) Вино с ещё не сложившимся букетом: ароматы чёрных ягод (ежевика, бузина) стоят отдельно от вторичного аромата кофе. Кислотность высокая и ещё не полностью интегрировалась, а танины сухие. Очень молодое вино с хорошим потенциалом к развитию.
