Cranberry, black cherry, earth, cola, coffee, rhubarb, spicy and floral. Tart. Great finish. Well-balanced with a nice, smooth texture. Best with food IMO.

Wild savory nose with dark berries. Acidic and balanced palate with earth and fruit and long complex finish.

Wow. What a surprise! Not overly baked, but meaty bodied. Peppery nose. Super clean wine.
