Smelling of mulberries, blueberries and black plums, this is a youthful and demonstrative wine. Dark and brooding in color, it boasts exceptional weight and density without higher octane alcohol levels. Fleeting nuances of game and underbrush add a rustic edge. The broad tannins are nicely balanced and the acidity is ample, making this is an easy-to-enjoy style. The juicy but fairly short finish with suggests an early drinking window. Drink now–2023.
