"Intense floral nose of red and dark fruit, with a slightly peppery, almost meaty character. There is a lot of stony minerality. Tight-knit structure with fruit and acidity that are crisp and zesty, ripe tannins, a velvety texture and a medium body. Good cherry fruit finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

"Shows a zesty, fragrant layer of milled pepper and chopped rosemary accenting flavors of cherry, raspberry and leather. This red's detailed flavor range is integrated with bright acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins."
