Oak-filled nose of blackberries and spice. Med-full bodied, this is dry and tannic but with a nice hint of herbal influences. Given the lack of fruit, I doubt this will improve much with time in bottle, but it it shouldn't fade over the next 3-5 years, so why not wait? drink 2025-2028 90

Part of a vertical tasting with the 2019. Started a little harsh but after 2 hours decanting this wine brought brilliance with well balamced notes of blended red fruit, lightly toasted oak, and vanilla. Wonderfully complex and well balanced.

So good and full of bright red fruit with a slight touch of earth after decanting 90 minutes. At about 3 hours of decanting, turns dramatically more savory and less desirable, with leather, tobacco, and heavy dark earth more predominant, along with some funk on the finish.

Paired wonderfully with a cherry glazed pork tenderloin. Notes of bing cherry and other red fruit.

Really love this wine. Paired wonderfully with a classic meatloaf.
