New leather, truffle, menthol and baked plum aromas slowly emerge on this inviting, full-bodied red. Smooth and savory, the velvety palate doles out fleshy black cherry, fig, tobacco and licorice alongside polished, enveloping tannins. Drink through 2028.

"I love the vibrancy to the fruit here, which ranges from citrus to orange peel, to violets and fresh herbs. Shows good depth on the medium-to full-bodied palate with crunchy acidity and supple tannins, giving energy to the sleek finish.”
