The wine is a medium to dark ruby red color. The very inviting nose has cherries, melted licorice, warm baking spices, dried herbs, some earthiness, blackberries, and minerals. This has medium body, moderate tannins, and very good acidity. The red fruit and spice dominate the front end on the palate with dried herbs and earthiness coming in later. The finish has decent length with some building minerality adding a nice dimension. This was an absolute steal for $6 direct from the winery's tasting room.

Not filled with complex flavors, but a fine example of the varietal. Tannins are resolved, this is about the fruit without being a huge fruit bomb. Should hold a few more years but appears at peak.
