A big chewy Merlot w red currants, pomegranate, white pepper, some raspberry, black pepper, and a touch of charred oak. Silky tannins. Plenty of room for growth w some years but this is drinking really nicely.

Needs some time to breath. A little young, but has a lot of earth, ripe berries, and hints of oak. This is very good, but should age well.
