This is a non-estate bottling. Absolute mountain fruit. High toned, clocking in at 13.2% abv. American oak giving some coconut. Super accessible out of the gate.

Elegant, powerful. Intense red and blue fruit flavors. Well integrated tannins contribute to a wine that is luscious and open. Outstanding.

Had higher expectations. Was starting to show like old Bordeaux but alcohol showed through.
