"A moderately toasty and very earthy nose primarily features ripe and somewhat somber dark berry fruit aromas that are in keeping with the equally serious, dense and powerful flavors that are very firmly structured on the muscular and lingering finish where a touch of warmth can be discerned. The wood also comes up on the finish but here it appears probable that it will eventually be absorbed."

"A mix of sweet oak, spice and pure cherry and raspberry flavors marks this stylish, vibrant red. Offers burly tannins and vivid acidity, with a structure well-suited to cellaring. Fine length. Best from 2016 through 2032. 870 cases made."
