96 Points - The Tasting Panel

"Sleek tannins, guided by sweet earth, slate, purple plum and black olive. Savory notes of fig, toasted cedar, and black tea meld with blackberries. Well structured and impeccably balanced."

The palate is soft and well-rounded with lively acidity, silky tannins, and lingering flavors of boysenberry, plum, and black tea.

Powerful yet fresh and elegant with a core of vibrant acidity and polished tannins. Bold flavors of plum, blackberry, and violet are followed by a long, smooth finish.
