14.5% alc., 192 cases, $58. Multiple clones. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 75% new. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Reserved aromas of black currant, cardamom spice and wet loamy soil. Full-bodied in style with layers of purple and black berry and pomegranate fruit flavors. Modest and balancing tannins with the faintest oak in the background. Impressively generous finish that lingers. Score: 92. Reviewed February 28, 2021
