  Pale Ruby
  
  High Acidity
  High Tannin
  High Alcohol
  Medium Bodied
  Long Finish
  
  Medium (+) Intensity
  Red Cherry, Red Plum, Smoke, Tobacco, Thyme, Rose, Tea Leaves, Mushroom, Leather
  
  Sour red fruits, earthy, smoky, not particularly floral, strong grip on the tannins, complex yet still young, fine to drink now, but will definitely improve over the next decade.

  Had at heritage in ft lauderdale
  Eclectic Italian food went well together
  Initial fruit forward and earth turned into all earth and no fruit at all after an hour but 30 min. later gentle fruit and earth in elegant harmony
  Always a wow wine for me with only wonderful memories
  Ethan could only stare and watch as he was driving home

  Consistent elegance no matter what the year
  In its drinking window
