A nose of blackberry, cranberry, violets and a whiff of toast. The palate is firm and structured, but the tannins are surprisingly evolved for such a young wine. The weight of this big red (clocking in at a sturdy 14.9% alcohol) is offset by a good amount of acidity. But make no mistake, this is a lot of wine! Notes of red and black fruits, baker’s chocolate, pipe tobacco and umami. The tannins and body suggest pairing with rack of lamb, braised beef or a medium-rare rib eye.
