Baked red cherries, plums and berries. Generously fruity on the palate, with subtle Mediterranean herbs and round, fine-grained tannins offering balance to the ripe red berry fruit. Expressive finish with medium length.

Graphite, tobacco and licorice aromatics are layered with the ripe black raspberry and red currant on display in this fresh, focused red. Fragrant but tightly meshed on the palate, with a firm, chalky finish. Let this open in the glass or give it a quick decant.

Complete, balanced, and in a great drinking window right now, this pairs up ripe strawberry and dried cherry notes with inviting accents of wildflowers, sweet spice, and hints of sage and lavender. Everything is well-integrated, and some bay leaf and a dusting of pencil lead set off the long finish. An utter delight for the next 3-4 years.
