TASTING: "Deep ruby. Oak-spiced dark berries, licorice and a hint of musky herbs on the powerful nose. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering chewy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that turn sweeter as the wines open up. Shows good energy and lift on the smoke-accented, appealing sweet, persistent finish, which is given shape by dusty, slow-building tannins." Josh Raynolds
