Dense purple. Prune, raspberry, spice and a hint of mint and veg in nose. Layers of cherry flavor with length followed by a hefty dose of fine grained seed tannin and black currant. Tart citric-cherry-cranberry finish with white and black pepper notes. Front of tongue astringency in aftertaste. Just drinkable now, but could benefit from a day of decanting or another 5-10 years of aging. Special, especially for those partial to Cali Petit Sirah
