"A complex, medium-bodied red, with good density and light, sculpted tannins, boasting an expressive core of ripe black cherry and blueberry fruit enmeshed with a pronounced streak of sweet ashy smoke. Fresh and focused, with aromatic accents of dried sage and tea rose, warm brown bread and spiced orange peel. Drink now through 2030. 196 cases made, 12 cases imported."
