  So young. This has layers and you can tell it will develop. Hold if you can. Heavier side. Dark fruit. Yum.

  Tasted at Cristom Winery tasting room. This wine comes from the relatively new 22 acre Paul Gerrie vineyard named for Cristom's founder. The wine was fermented 46% whole cluster and aged 18 months in 44% new French oak barrels. The wine is a dense, slightly translucent ruby garnet. The nose is quite effusive with red florals, spices and darker berry fruit. This seems curiously open-knit flavor yet dense with a heavier texture showing pomegranate, black cherry, cloves, and a broad, long finish. Well-structured with acidity and tannin for aging. Probably the most tannic of the cru's tasted today. Very classy wine with a long future.
