Very Bordeaux style - dark blue/black fruit and spice, with neutral oak adding texture without vanilla. Lovely.

Red fruit, mushroom, umami, soy, earthy, black cherry, strawberry and raspberry. On the palate, black fruit, spice, pepper, Briney, smokey, and savory. Long finish.

Lean and structured Petrus-style Merlot with a hint of Cab Franc. Gorgeous distinctly Napa bouquet of loam, vanilla, and blackberry.
