This single-vineyard bottling begins with aromas of nearly overripe plum and black berries accompanied by whiffs of farmyard and wet soil. The palate loses this rustic note and delivers juicy red cherry layered with vanilla, espresso and toasted oak. It’s a bit shy on freshness and finishes on a sweet note but it’s still very enjoyable thanks to succulent primary fruit flavors.
