Tart plums, walnuts, faint spice box. Generous oak but nothing off-putting. Really enjoyable on a beautiful Tuesday night

Lots of blackberry and sweet tobacco aromatics. Cassis and cherries on the palate. Definitely one to enjoy in the near term.

Pale ruby in color; plums, black cherries, and cedar on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like blueberries, raspberries, and clay pots with a long finish. Nellie says it's like ok. I like it.
