Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose of red and black fruits with light oak, chocolates, spices and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and black pepper.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7-year-old Bordeaux blend from Carmel Valley in California is drinking very nicely now. Well balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and interesting.
Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
