This youthful wine offers a lightly spicy nose that is complemented by black fruit and beef jerky notes. Choppy tannins and electric acidity frame the muscular, full-bodied palate that’s laden with a blackberry flavor and a touch of toast. The finish lingers on hints of slate and asphalt. This is a big wine that would benefit from decanting or more time in bottle. Drink now–2022.
