N: RIPE, JAMMY berries with POSS undertones of pyrazines?

P: LM, poss Med, body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt (suspect threshold R.S.) counterbalanced by the BAREST *hint* of astringent pucker which stays in touch with the init swtness/frt as it transtions into a LONG, poss very, VERY slightly bitterish finish with a distinct, at times, raisiny SWTNESS to the few, dusty tannins. For now & into '21 in a R.S. style. My VG+; 89 pts & "Editors’ Choice" WE @ $16, 88 Wine Align (11/2/18), 4/5* from spiritofwine.blogspot.com , & Silver from '19 S.F. Chronicle Comp @ $17.99.
