2015 vintage. Dark and exotically aromatic. Fig, mullberry, blueberry compote, star anise, purple basil, fresh violets, allspice, incense, orange peel lifted note. Seems like there might be a little stem inclusion. Yum!

Deep, dark, tannic, brooding... at first. After a long decant the tannins smooth out and the fruit expands. The nose fills the room.

Beautiful bouquet of candied fruit, pepper, cardamom and tar. Cherry and raspberry preserves, soft velvety mouth feel and a long finish. Love this wine! 😁

Pleasant and good value. Not a standout given the vineyard, unfortunately.

Nice soft wine. Paired really nicely with prime rib. Enjoyed with dad and uncle mark.
