Deep color...nose and palate display primarily wood and dried herb notes...tannins are well integrated...this wine is either in a building phase or past peak.

Opaque ruby color, fading to garnet with a clear edge. Medium meniscus. Old cedar plank on the nose, with dried black cherry, white pepper and cigar tobacco notes. Medium tannins make for a parching mouthfeel. Body is medium but not firm. Fading valencia orange, choke cherry, cedar mulch and savory red fruit palate with dried fruit leather on the back. Medium long finish. Another couple of years in the cellar will do this wine right.

deep ruby color. Cassis and blackberry. Tannins and oak well integrated. Locked and loaded at this point but will age for years if you want an older wine profile

Deep ruby color. Medium intensity nose of dark red & black fruit and forest floor. Tannins are fine grained and still pretty firm. Wood and earth flavors are more forward than fruit. Medium finish.

Elegant wine, very soft tannin, still holding on to fruit
I prefer wine before they lose their fruit and become earthy, I would drink 2020-2021
