Thursday, October 25, 2012 - The wine is a light to medium ruby color, much lighter at the edge. The very interesting and unique nose has raspberries, earthy underbrush, black pepper, dried herbs, baking spices, smoke, licorice, cherries, and a touch of eucalyptus. This has medium body with fairly solid, ripe tannins and very nice acidity. On the palate a nice hit of cherry and raspberry precedes a blast of savory elements including black pepper, dried herbs, and nice earthy notes. The finish is fairly long and leans towards the savory spectrum with nice cherry and raspberry in the background adding subtle sweetness. Not a fruit forward, fruit bomb, very food friendly. I like this a lot and feel it should last in the cellar for another year, maybe two.
