Top Notes For

9.0

Predominant American new oak: coconut, vanilla, toast, smoke. Floral and fruity - a balanced mix of red, black, and blue fruits. High tannin, quite a bit spicy, medium to medium plus acidity. Medium minus staining.

Ripe plum, blackberry, dark cherry, biscuit and malt. Ever present tannin doused in fruit, no doubt has life ahead of it but it's youthful/upfrontness would appeal to many.

I'm telling you. Find it!! Buy it! Forget about it!! But buy enough to drink to cellar and drink. It's hard to do that when its this good.

Outstanding wine, still showing elegance of fruit, balanced use of oak and some bright notes from good Acid / PH management. A great wine.
