Beautiful acid and layered red fruits with a slight tomato leaf quality in the background. Fairly lite and elegant.

Great now, but better a day later. Layered and structured, with a dark heart. Stony grape and turmeric notes in a sandy dark chocolate black plum skins slurry that broods. Med-heavy mouthfeel with a really lovely black grape, pepper and graphite toasty interplay. Kudos for producing a wine of this calibre in this price range! Finishes with fine grained tannins, dry, and pronounced but not lingering, but what more can this wine give you at this price point? Delivers and raises the bar! Abragado!

Baked berry, cherry,oak, and a little bit of pepper on the nose. a little bit of black pepper with a nice balance of acidity and tannin.
