I was afraid I’d be committing infanticide opening this 2018 so soon, but this really could not have been more perfect, showing with tons of ripe blackberry and boisenberry fruit, fresh herbs, kalamata tappenade, and subtle oak notes. Giving, silky, and ready to drink, I don’t think this needs any further aging. She’s beautiful as is.

Dark cherries, full bodied but certainly very fresh at only 12.5%. Loved this
