Med+ ripe red cherry, cranberry, raspberry, black plum, herbs & well integrated oak spice from 11 mos. in 1 - 4 yr. old French oak barrels. Youthful. Dry, w/ nice, juicy fruit, med to med+ acidity & tannins. High but well integrated alcohol (14.1%). Med+ body, flavor intensity & length. Really elegant & well-balanced, it straddles the fence stylistically between Burgundy & North Coast Cali. Although enjoyable now, it is still quite primary and will benefit from at least another year of aging.
