This wine is medium ruby in the glass and smells of raspberry, cherry, anise and an earthy note. The palate is like a more savory take on Pinot Noir, with coffee, red fruit and spicy herbs. The tannins are very firm and the acidity is fresh. There is a long finish which carries the red fruit back.

Lots going on here. The nose is magnificent—sandalwood, tobacco, leather predominant over the fruit. On the palate one can taste the volcanic terroir. Fun wine.

Earth and ash—volcanic soil really comes through. Nice balance of fruit and acidity. Frank by itself but would really be enhanced with food.

Volcano in a bottle, very complex and elegant. A bottle for a true wine geek!
