Plum, dark blackberry, subtle grilled meat. But mostly cracked black and white pepper. Plenty of tannic power. A little higher toned than I was hoping. I suggest waiting on it for now.

It just seemed right to open this tonight, and it is delicious. Juicy with deep dark cherry and black olive. It is 100% California with glimpses of the Northern Rhone.
