Delicious GSM with a bonus dash of gutsy fruit. Enjoyed with Thanksgiving dinner. Smooth, dark fruit, good acid and tannins. Brilliant and compelling wine.

Aromas of boysenberry jam, strawberry, plum and blackberry fruit flirt with notes of spice box, lavender, toffee, vanilla and oak. Still has some heat even after overran hour plus of air time, but not off putting. On the palate rich fruit flavors of strawberry, boysenberry, blackberry, plum and tart cherry are laced with spices, everything ranging from ginger to pepper in the spice box. hints of floral notes and lingering flavors of vanilla and wood pull through the structured finish. Acidity remains moderate+ as the tannins present at a medium level. moderate/Moderate+ weight and density on the palate.
Overall drinking very well and see this drinking for another 5 years at least.

Dark garnet with purple edge. Nose of roasted plum..tart sour cherry with long mid palate. Still a little tight, but good with food
