Blueberry, sage and cedar accentuate the opulence of the vintage before yielding to spicy black pepper and dried cherry on the nose. It's an incredibly interesting contrast that's easily identifiable now but will mellow in time. There's an abundance of purity and freshness as the palate leans toward cool character with layer after layer of raspberry jam, cocoa, strawberry and clove. While not overly coarse, the tannins are persistent and mouth coating, a perfect balance to the laser-focused seam of acidity that slowly yields to the stony minerality that's typical of this wine.
