Deep purplish ruby. Smells like black and darker red fruits, graphite, black pepper, and violet. Medium body, acid, and finish, with silky texture, and flavors of black fruits, minerals, and spice. Younger than I'd typically drink—I have some older vintages in the cellar, but it's a restaurant so here we are—but it's an accessible style, and delicious, but not too overtly fruity or big. Solid.

My only bottle of this and I'd say it's pretty drink up status at this point. Fairly dense ruby color. Smells like black cherry, plum, cedar, cinnamon, dried fennel and other dry spices, orange peel, dash of potpourri floral. Lighter side of medium body, medium acid and finish, with flavors of similar dark red fruits, cinnamon, orange, lemon, black tea, and minerals. Perfect for a robust smothered chicken dish tonight.

Medium+ ruby color, hinting purple. Smells like dark fruits, graphite, and soil, bit of herbs and grass, dirty root vegetables. Medium body and finish, medium (+) acid, with dark fruits, lemon, orange, notable spice that lingers, and minerals. Good with red meat. Drinking well now and probably for at least a few more years.
