  Tons of earth aromas up front, some bell pepper, old leather, blackberry, hint of black licorice. More fruit initially on the palate, mostly blackberry and black cherry, then the savory notes come through strong - coffee granules, dried herbs, sweet tobacco. Super cool. Medium complexity, medium body, medium minus tannins (super soft), medium plus acid. Even better after being open for a couple hours. Good stuff!

  Nicely balanced but still very young. Red fruit on the nose, plenty of acid and tannin on the palate with a mix of red and dark fruit, plus hints of mushroom. Needs at least 2 more years, maybe more.

  Fruity, light bodied, lightly spicy cab franc. Seems more like a warm climate wine than I was expecting - light tannins, a bit of cherry cough syrup and not a ton of savory character.
