"This red is tightly wound and on the austere side for now, yet the cherry, raspberry, rose, white pepper and iron flavors reveal complexity and staying power. The lingering fruit on the finish suggests this wine's full potential in due time."

"Eucalyptus leather underbrush and licorice aromas. Linear, firmly structured palate offers dried cherry orange zest coffee bean same licorice note as nose alongside grainy tannins, drying tannins."
