This juicy wine feels substantial, with a concentrated palate of blueberry and blackberry fruit. It's got grip and detail, with threads of coffee grounds and smoke. It finishes with a hint of metallic earth. All is in balance, and the highlights are gently applied.

Brilliant ruby-red. Powerful aromas of cherry cola and black raspberry pick up hints of smoky Indian spices and woodsmoke in the glass. Sappy and concentrated; gentle acidity provides lift and definition to bitter cherry and dark berry flavors. Delivers very good depth and power, in the style of this vintage, offering solid closing punch and length and dusty tannins that sneak in late.

The Lumières bottling, from the Eola-Amity Hills, is more taut and structurally angular, with an ample frame, juicy fruit and fine but firm tannins. Like the Dundee Hills and Chehalem Mountains bottlings, this is a very faithful representation of this AVA's qualities. Drink 2018 through 2028.
