Lifted, lucid aromas of beet root, blood plum, chocolate, cedar and savory spice lead to a linear yet succulent palate framed in granular, dusty tannins. A sturdy wine for protein that's showing well now with a few years under its belt.

Kalamata olive, spice, date-nut bread and black licorice notes add complexity to the core of tangy berry flavors in this red, which shows cedar and cigar box accents on a dense, firming frame. Drink now.
