This wine offers a generous fruit-driven attack that’s accompanied by a soft, rounded midpalate. The tannins are streamlined and accessible, and the acidity is well-placed yet gentle. The aromas and palate echo one another in tones of dried earth and savory spice accented by desiccated cherries. There is black plum pithiness on the finish that makes this a great wine for the table. Drink now–2020.
