Gamy, rubbery aromas mark this sizzler with major balance issues. Sour flavors of currant and lemon finish with nothing but acid.

Aromas of balsam wood, marzipan and ripe blackberry are focused and generous. Chewy tannins hold the palate together, while flavors of herbal, spicy cassis and black plum come with chocolate and baking spice notes before finishing thick but focused. Drink through 2018.

Opaque in color, with heady aromas of berry fruits, copious oak and minerality, this is a generous and fiery red blend. In the mouth, the feel is hot and edgy; flavors of molasses, roasted berry fruits and smoked meat finish hollow.
