I say it every time, but I’m always surprised at how much more accessible this wine is compared to their Cabernet. I associate mountain wines with gripping tannins and while this is still quite youthful, it is so incredibly plush. Relentless dark fruits that power through each phase. Fresh squeezed blackberries over everything with a lavender and some smoked meat notes. Lavender, plum, cassis and baking spice.
