Visited the winery in 2019, fantastic experience. Opened this today for my birthday. It is dark purple, earthy on the nose and mildly tannic. Faint dark red fruit on the pallet. If you have some, drink it now.

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis). The body is light. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity. Very little on the pallet. I think this was a "free" bottle that was included in an order. I would not buy it.

Enjoyed this with a SRF Prime Ribeye (grilled). I tasted and decided it did not need to be decanted. Even with 15.3% alcohol, this is a very balanced wine, just enough tannin integrated. Notes of dark cherry, leather, slight cedar. Dark garnet in color, very slight watery rim, long legs. Medium length spicy aftertaste. Overall quality very good. All that being said, I am not sure this is a $100 bottle of wine.
