Ruby red with a wide brim and cherry accents. The fruit on the nose has receded a bit mostly showcasing the more savory aspects. Bacon fat, dried herbs, and dark chocolate dominate along with blackberry. This is drinking just about perfectly right now with excellent balance and the tannins still showing some firmness. On the palate, those savory notes come back into play but with more pronounced fruit. The blue and blackberries, raspberries, and spices are prevalent here. This really is reminiscent of Northern Rhône Syrah and that’s never a bad thing.
