Had a taste at a tasting. Aromas of earth, smoke and dark fruit. The palate shows a nicely aged wine, in a good spot right now just not quite as complex as the nose.

Medium-dark ruby purple color. Nose two inches above the rim of cherry, dark fruit, and some oak. Flavor reflects the nose with addition of a mineral grip (smoo-ooth tannins), juicy acidity, and a light/full dichotomy on the palate. The finish is long and mouthwatering, with a tobacco kicker. Lots of character. Excellent wine.

Scary Good Reds, Rated 90 Points and Above (Farpointe Cellar): Earth and cherries on the nose, with floral notes and incense, and some burnt wood at the end. Sweet and juicy on the palate, with cherry and spice, some rose petals, and a good toast finish.

Strong medium bodied, fruit forward read. Pepper and earth notes very complimentary. Excellent value wine that is holding up well.
