Aromatically, this wine seems locked up with notes of tire rubber, herbs, pepper, woodspice and plum. Favors are supple and reserved in style. It's a unique expression of the variety from this cool vintage.

The winery calls this “a convergence of dark debauchery”. It's not a bad assessment. Ripe blackberry and black cherry fruit highlight the broad midpalate, with a modest hint of leather, clean earth and toast. Enjoy this immediately, or save for a few more years.
