Tasting notes:

This wine has a lovely dark ruby color. The black cherry aroma that showed in this wine when it was very young has shifted to the background paired with a bit of jasmine. More prominent now on the nose is a fun resinous note that evokes a pine forest after a rain. The wine hits the front of the palate bright and the wine shows great integration. There is some nice blackberry that helps soften the mid-palate leading to a medium finish with nice tannins giving your mouth a little pucker on the finish. (Updated 3.15.22 - Alan)
