Fruit enough spice, and high elevation dustiness. I want to finish this with my grass-fed steak. But I'll save some for tomorrow to give it the day two/decanted grade. "Pop" Bing cherry, cedar, leather, and plum!? also. Finish is long enough to count for something. Medium+tannins. Finish diminished on a day long wait to enjoy again, and ripe Bing cherry note went up. Still has up front grip, I like that. So some tannins definitely stuck around. Very good wine rating is based on my history. My history will be revised, I like this just don't think it's as good as some 89ers so I had to drop it to an 87. I definitely recommend this wine for it's price point. Day three rating adjustments coming.

Enjoyed the first sips but did improve with some decanting time. Lots of fruit at first. Nice finish.

Robust, full bodied and some tannins. Not too fruity and good with food.
