Popped and poured around the pool and sunset and paired with a RP Summer collection cigar. It appeared a ruby red with hints of dark cherry. Fruit flavors of dark cherry and earth and hints of tobacco. Not a complicated wine, but very enjoyable.

Mild nose suggesting plum with a hint of violet. On the edge of being terrifically balanced and complex but falling just short. The terroir peaks through at times, but plum, blackberry and cigar box flavors dominate. The tannins are subdued, the texture smooth. Very nice.

Good value here, needs about 30 minutes of decanting, toasty nose of tobacco, bell pepper, and dark fruits, developed on the palate but enough life to last a few more years

Just short of being excellent, this is still young, tannic and hard. Some rich fruit is peeking out, showing promise.
