This is a ripe, plush wine, but it avoids being syrupy or heavy. It starts with aromas of red berry fruit, mint, ground pepper, graphite and baking spices.

The oak creeps in, particularly on the finish, but overall this is a restrained expression of the region that should hold up in bottle until 2024 or so.
