Opens with layers of blackberry, Bing cherry and ripe plum, followed by notes of mocha and chocolate. The tannins are focused and long, providing a rich texture and mouthfeel with an elegant balance and structure that complements the mouth-filling flavors. Well-integrated baking spice notes of cinnamon and nutmeg from the toasted oak barrels are seamlessly woven throughout, complementing the berry fruit aromas and flavors. A long, mouthwatering finish. Approachable and delicious now, yet promises cellar worthiness.
