Tuesday, August 4, 2020 - Medium ruby color. Nose of fresh cut raspberry and Bing cherry, with plenty of floral and earth notes. Darker raspberry and mulberry fruit profile on the palate, cut with iodine and cinnamon. Driven by fresh acidity and exhibiting firm tannin. Moderately long finish of black raspberry and a bit of brier. Early in its drinking window, with plenty of power and verve over complexity at this juncture.

    Cheers,
    Doug
