WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Intense purple color. Great intensity with ripe red and black fruits notes such as blueberry and cassis along with some black pepper notes. Full-bodied with firm, mature and integrated tannins. Very long and persistent finish.
90 pts Wine Spectator Finely crafted, with touches of elegance and plenty of freshness to the plum, cherry tart and boysenberry flavors, accented by forest floor notes. Mineral and spice details fill the lively finish. Drink now through 2019. 7,500 cases made. –KM (Sept 2015)
