Really a nice all around wine. Medium weight, takes a little time for the nose to open up with lavender, violets and spice. On the palate there's a balanced blend of red and black fruit, mocha, spice and oak, with tannins that need to settle down. This wine will hit the zone in a year or two and then should be good for quite a few more years.
