"A juicy red, with heavy baked raspberry and crushed cherry fruit flavors, plus notes of fig cake, sweet smoke and woodsy spices. Features creamy tannins that form a supple frame for the expressive profile, with hints of grilled herbs, ash and spices playing on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 325 cases made, 15 cases imported."
