240 cases made. One of my two favorite red wines from this producer. Ruby red-purple, dense, high pigment extraction. Leather, raspberry, floral and cigar box aromas. Blackberry flavor, slightly bitter and warm finish. I like the fruity berry flavors in this one. Decanting… Some vanilla and oak barrel emerge after 30 minutes, a richer blend of blackberry and raspberry flavors after two hours, greater integration, softer mouthfeel, better balance. Always a great pour…
