Dark berries, baking spices, and violets make for a lively nose, complemented by hints of smoked meat and some black pepper. Ripe raspberry and huckleberry flavors open on the palate, and a graphite, stony minerality emerges quickly and brings exciting energy to the wine. The finish is not shy filled with fine grained tannins that call for pairing with meats and cheese now but will protect and add life to this stately red wine.
