2014, I'm guessing mostly Pommard clone here, great fruit tannin and acidity hiding behind that. What an amazing find. Cranberry and earl grey tea.

Clear cherry color with earthy notes of cherry and blackberry. Moderately high in alcohol (14.1%) which comes through on the palate but excellent with baked salmon.
