Ruby red verging to garnet-red. The bouquet is very intense, lingering, with hints of cherry fruit and spices. Well-balanced, with velvety tannins and a long aromatic grip on the palate. Pair with seasoned cheese, red meat, roasts, braised meat, game.

Sporting cherry, strawberry, floral and leather aromas and flavors, this vibrant style is harmonious and structured, yet more elegant than powerful, with fine intensity and a lingering aftertaste. Best from 2020 through 2033. 1,800 cases made.

This opens with aromas of prune, vanilla and a suggestion of cedar. The straightforward palate offers black-cherry extract, star anise and clove alongside rounded tannins. It's evolving quickly so drink sooner rather than later to catch the remaining fruit sensations.
