"An intriguing nose displays aromas of cola, cloves, leather and plum. Muscular tannins are well balanced by fruit and come into further harmony with earthy, sophisticated layers. On the palate huckleberry, cassis and Morello cherries are matched by briny olive, walnut and black pepper which drive toward a lingering finish. While a beauty in its youth, this wine’s depth and complexity promises to deliver further enjoyment with time."
