Deep crimson with just a touch of bricking along the edges. Tannins are noticeably refined, and tertiary elements of truffle, dried mint, and prune are well balanced with softer oak notes (clove and cinnamon) and just-ripe fruits (dark cherry, blueberry). Robust, new-world fruit profile, but very nuanced and satisfying.

Full, Bold and Plush. Made from Walla Walla grapes. Ripe fruit (plums and black cherries) aromas and flavors. Hints of black pepper and baking spices. Touch of blueberry on the finish. Smooth tannins. Fruit forward but not over the top. Just a bit hot out of the bottle so decant this one.

30 minute decant. Bright red fruit nose then red fruits and spice on the pallet. Good complexity and decent finish. Nice wine.

This was good. Heavy. Held up well to lamb shanks. Fruit. Earth. Great combination.
