Really coming into it's own over the last few months. Purple color belies the (rich and notably sweet) red cherry fruit. Still very well balanced with a pretty mouthfeel and medium finish. Loved it with the tasty osso bucco I ordered.

Opaque purplish ruby colored core...meniscus slightly pink. Black cherries , melted black licorice , crushed cinderblock aromas in the nose. Definitely Cali styled palate with ripe cherry flavors and toasty oak prevalent up front in a full weight. Mid palate shows tannic presence but also anise and dark chocolate and crispness. Long dry lingering finish.
