  Floral with pink grapefruit aromas and fresh thyme. Flavors are more pink grapefruit and red berries. Silky tannins. Finishes with raspberry and balanced acidity.

  Dry, fresh medium(+) acid, medium alcohol, medium fine-grained tannins, medium(+) bodied, medium(+) intense flavors of ripe, plump red cherry, kirsch, black cherry, red raspberry, blue plum, grape skin, tomato leaf, rosemary, bay leaf, vanilla, coffee, mushroom, fig, prune, balsamic vinegar.

  This is a good wine. There is a good balance of ripe fruit concentration and higher acidity. The alcohol is well integrated into the wine, as are the fine-grained medium tannins. While the focus is on a balance of fresh red fruits and riper, almost confected red and black fruits, there are sufficient complex flavors of herbs (rosemary, bay leaf), oak maturation (coffee, vanilla), and tertiary development (fig, mushroom). The finish is ripe and medium in length. For this to be a very good wine, it must be more complex with more defined flavors and aromas and a lengthier finish.
  
  This wine is suitable for bottle aging. The wine has a sufficient balance of high fruit concentration, fresh acidity, and medium tannins to develop positively. With bottle aging, the wine should develop a leathery texture and dried cherry, earth, and tobacco notes.
