The medium-high intensity nose is lifted and inviting with red fruited aromas of plum, cherry, and raspberry, followed by white pepper spice nuances. On the dry, medium to medium-full bodied palate is is creamy with well-structured tannins and lovely peppery spice notes layered over a red fruit and berry core. Nicely balanced throughout with very good, lively acidity. Excellent finish length while showing its youth at this stage with lovely texture and structure. Will be better in 3-4 years.
