This one takes a while to open up but once it does it's tasty.

Black cherry, Blackberries, sweet spices and some licorice on nose. Lovely Wine by Hobbs as always.. Russian River Valley earthiness.

Silky smooth, perfumy berry aromas, fresh acidity, long lingering and mouth filling finish

Backwards at first, but resolved with an hour decant. Dried fruits, mushroom, leather, delicate tannins.
