Ruby red, smoky with cracked black pepper, slightly savory, red and blue fruited with persistent acid. Paired well with easy Thursday burger..

Doesn’t skimp on flavor but this is pretty rustic. Very feral, savory nose. Pungent wet, rocky earth, leather, black pepper. In the mouth it’s tannic and very clingy.

UPDATE (Night 2): Upping from 8.6 to 8.7. It’s showing more fruit and concentration tonight.
