Dense and diverse aromatically this wine opens black cherries, violet, and black currant. Followed by wet granite, roasted cacao, sage brush and tobacco leaf. Generous on the palate and the dark berry and stone fruit character is balanced by forest detritus and beautiful oak finish. The structure is dense with classic mouth filling Red Mountain tannins, tension and a drawn-out acid and mineral finish. This wine is designed for longevity in the cellar but can be enjoy young with a lengthy decanting.
