Pours a rich, opaque purple and smells of blueberries and blackberries, cocoa and flowers. Mouth-coating, leading with more blue fruit but turning to red berries through the finish, with notes of graphite, red meat and subtle pepper. The red fruit gives it a high-tone, bright quality - drinks a bit lighter than you'd expect, really nice.

A wow wine. Deep dark and blueberry fruit, some smoke, and a volcanic stone undertone, the wine is rich, well balanced, smooth, with some tannin still needing to resolve. Needs a long decant now, or a few more years in bottle. Would do well with beef, and drinks well on its own because of the rich fruit and interesting flavors. A Horse Heaven Hills vineyard.

Fruit ranges from red to black. Dusty, earthy and well balanced.

Dark and rich without being pruney. So much character. This probably needs a few more years before it reaches its peak, and should hold until 2025.
