Dense and sappy, displaying a well of kirsch, blackberry, boysenberry and mulberry preserves that unfurls steadily, laced with notes of apple wood, anise and black tea along the way. There's a pinpoint feel to this red, with its silky yet tensile structure supporting the deft, suave finish as late flashes of sassafras and iron peek out. Very much its own wine. Best from 2025 through 2045. 395 cases made.
