Deep purple. A warm, inviting, deep nose of cassis, juicy black cherries, tangy blueberries, laced with complexities of sage, tilled soil, dried rose and violet petals, anise cookie – lovely. The palate is plush and juicy with that crisp, high-elevation acidity that keeps things so focused, and moderate tannins provide support. I love the crunchy plums, tangy blueberries, and deep, plush black cherry fruit. Suave and fun but complex and built very well, with nuances of graphite, coffee grounds, chewing tobacco, some pine tar, and hints of oak. Ready to drink now but will cellar well for five years or so, too.
