Violet color with ruby translucence at the edges. Nose richly fruited, some earthy florals, slightest bit hot. Palate smooth blueberry/raspberry flavors, some almost-loamy forest floor and garrigue, becomes more open and gains more pleasing richness of body with time. Very drinkable now. 91 pts

Welp, we ripped and sipped this one. Very fragrant nose, red fruits, candied fruits, with a savory graphite underpinning. Palate is juicy, red and dark fruits, fresh acidity with tannins that just dry your toungue on the finish but aren’t unpleasant. Herbal, minty finish with fruit and acidity carrying it through. Has the fresh juiciness that I look for in wine, but the complexity that doesn’t always go with it. Ned said he wished we had bought two - we’ll definitely be looking for this retail.

On the fuller fruited side of the cruse style. Delicious.

Juicy, red-fruited, joyous. End of the bottle held up well overnight.
