Recommended at Little Prince NYC. Medium nose and fairly full in the mouth. Medium oak and heavier tannin at the end

Bright red fruit and cassis with some savory herbal notes. Great acid to tannin balance. Uncomplicated and unpretentious. Great Washington field blend for the price.

Oak monster. Dark chocolate and hazelnuts. Figgy fruit. Brambly fruit on the palate. Good focus. $12btg/8.0
