  Deep garnet in the light. Aromas of olive, green vegetables. Herbaceous. Black cherry on the palate, and hard to identify secondary or tertiary notes. Medium acid, medium tannins and high alcohol. Finish was medium length with little unpleasant bitterness. This wine is flavorful, pleasant yet not very complex. The heat from the alcohol was a distraction and while more age may tame the alcohol the tannins, acid and fruit flavors don’t foretell a decades-long drinking window. Enjoyable but at $295 for a library release at the winery, better value can be found elsewhere.
