Inaugural vintage for Joshua West of Elephant Seven Winery. Sourcing from stunning vineyards in the Rocks District. Definitely worth checking out and great value, only $30.00.
Medium to deep garnet core. Very feminine on the nose, but do not take that for being shy. Insanely complex nose that kept changing over time. Started off a little floral with roses and even a little bit of strawberries. Layered undertones of spices, herbs and mixed all together with some cinnamon. Floral notes definitely got stronger on day two. Moderate tannins (6/10), well integrated, excellent structure and medium plus to full bodied. Definitely a touch savory on the attack from 'the Rocks' region, this juice comes from, with meaty notes, wet rocks, and a touch of black pepper. Undertones of black cherries and raspberries. Gained even more complexity on day two with blacker fruits and nutmeg. Slightly dry and lingering finish. Drink till 2024. (92+)

World of Wines 5/12/17. Kind of a kick in the face, but in a good way. Might be hard to pair though.
