This wine is a medium garnet in color. The somewhat muted nose offers aromas of jammy blackberries, a bit of earth, some black pepper and anise. The palate is loaded with dark fruit and cherry, with very fine tannins. It’s a smooth sip. It’s also a fresh sip, as the light touch of oak lets the grapes speak for themselves.

13.5%. Bright, saturated, varietally correct. Just verging on the level of ripeness that starts turning me away but as Loire-like as I've had from VA. A very nice wine.
