Friday, June 27, 2014 - 93+ Points. Tasted at "Taste of Howell Mountain" event. Aerated unknown period of time.
Dark fruits and grilled meat on the nose. On the palate, black plum and black currants are followed by chocolate, scorched earth, cedar and purple flowers. Expressive and generous, but firmly seated with plenty of structure and fine-grained tannin. The alcohol pokes through in the finish, but overall this is modern and largely scaled without being too loosely knit.
