Nice nose of spice and dark berries, flavors of dark cherry, plum, chooclate, and spice. Gripping tannins and strong fruit balance each other nicely. ($18)

Bright ruby-garnett in the glass, with moderate sediment, a touch of brick on rim. N: intense and alcoholic. Dark cherry pie, white pepper, poblanos, chocolate, bacon, plum, blueberry M: Similar as nose, with strong back-end acid, clove and leather. Finish was very hot, whiskey like. Oak was moderately astringent.

Black fruit jam, a little alcoholic. Better by itself than with food.

Popped and poured. Dark fruit and a meatiness on the nose. Inky color. Brighter fruit on the palate with a finish that ends mid-palate.
