Aromas of forest berry, blue flower and underbrush follow through to the linear, savory palate along with juicy cherry, star anise and clove. Bright acidity and taut, fine-grained tannins provide the framework.

Rich and supple, evoking cherry, earth, hay and tar flavors, with nicely integrated tannins. Though the finish isn't very long or complex, it lingers nevertheless. Best from 2024 through 2038. 2,500 cases made, 625 cases imported.
