Decanted for an hour, giving it time to open up. Dark fruit, very firm tannins, bright acidity and iron minerality all interwoven. Barrel-aged 20 months in French barriques (15% new), it's still a baby. Landing soon in Illinois, woohoo!

Jan 8th, 2016Quite the baby since it's not even released yet, but has plenty of potential. From 40+ year-old vines from Todd Bros Ranch in red volcanic soils, just bottled last month after 18 in French barriques. Minerality of the soil jumps out of the glass right away, but needs air to let the fruit and tannin really come into play.
