2023 vintage. Excellent color in the glass, heavy floral aromas on the nose, notes of cherry and jam on the palette with a tail of spice and vanilla on the finish. Paired well with filet mignon, a decently balanced Zinfandel grape varietal, another 1-2 years and this would’ve been even more perfect.
