Showing classy aromas of crushed blackberry, evergreen, dried earth and cigar, this wine’s palate follows with the same. While not particularly complex or concentrated, this lively wine is even showing a touch of maturity with its note of leathery intrigue. The palate is racy and slightly thin, with drying tannins. The modest finish focuses on mature notes of fallen autumn leaves. Drink now–2023.
