Deeply hued, richly fruited but quickly moves the heft away with tight, focused tannin and loads of mineral character, like drinking hot stones covered in ripe, lip-smacking wild berry and cherry fruits. All backed by a rich meaty character, further adding savory dimension. Top-notch quality and terroir driven wine.

Aug 15th, 2017Minerals, gravel, earth, herbs maybe a little mint, menthol. Jesus there is a ton going on with this wine. Tannins, acid, pinch of cinnamon, dark fruit. Black cherry and blackberry. Outstanding wine, would be so fun with a giant chop or thick bone in rib-eye.
