88 Points

Tuesday, March 21, 2023 - very deeply colored, purple rim. on the nose quite exuberant. very merlot'ish to me with plenty of casis tinged plum. there is some new oak in there. not really cigar box bordeaux but crunchy merlot. on the palate high acids, a full midpalate, finishes with a moderate amount of firm tannins and moderate alcohol. balanced wine with good length, very good intesnity, ok complexity. is more rustic than finesse driven has a very nice texture and very good expression of place. i liked this a lot, it has plenty of life left (easily 5+ years) and I wish I would have bought more.
