Tasted double-blind at Region restaurant. Bottle provided by Jim Zemen. Bright disc. Medium garnet robe with brick rim. Clean nose, showing an explosive bouquet of bing cherries, coriander, mint and savory. Medium-bodied on the palate, with low-to-medium acidity, light sweet tannins and flavors which mirror the nose. The finish goes on and on. Amazingly youthful, this wine should continue to drink well for a few more years.
