A solid offering from an iffy vintage. Lavender, dark berries, and sweet spices come together in this medium to full bodied wine. Lean tannins and some good acidity mean this wine will age well for another 4-5 years.

Dec 18th, 2014Hints of mint and herbs on the nose, cherry and licorice and garrigue on the tongue. A bit of alcohol burn mid palate. Forward tannins but well integrated. Nice peppery finish.
