Dark and inky at the core, this wine has a miniscule maroon rim. The palate is smoky and redolent of black cherry. Fully ripe and deeply hedonistic, melted tannins and medium but supporting acidity frame the palate. Voluptuous and integrated, it is ready to rock: its solid, lingering finish and excellent, integrated flavors allow it to drink well right now. Don’t be shy to go for it! Drink now–2020.
