Fresh, medium-high intensity nose offers dark fruited aromas of blackberry, black cherry, oak spice, mineral, and black pepper spice. The medium-full to full-bodied palate is dry with a plush mouthfeel and smooth, finely textured tannins, along with very good, juicy, and crisp acidity. The aromas echo on the palate, leading earthy and peppery spice notes on the long finish. Tasted May 2025.
