Ripe, meaty aromas of black fruit and oak announce a well-made wine with nice balance between ripeness and structure. Its creamy and a bit thick on the palate, offset by hard tannins. It finishes with chocolaty oak and savory berry flavors. Drink this serious red through 2026.

There’s a dark plum and slightly raisined edge to the nose. This has a wealth of dense, rich tannins and the palate adds a chocolate-like thread to powerfully rich, dark berry fruit. Drink now.
