Plum, tobacco, and green pepper on the nose. Medium body, smooth and silky, with definite strawberry, white pepper spice, and a fruit/spice balance that lingers beautifully on the palate.

Bobby Moy, Winemaker "Layers of red plum, blackberries, and cassis explode from the glass. Spices mingle with the fruit giving way to notes of lavender, nutmeg, and cardamom. On the palate it is in balance due to a solid acid backbone and rich, but fairly-tight tannins. The finish lingers with red fruits and wisps of graphite. This approachable wine is rich in color, texture and flavor with an elegance not often seen in mountain Cabernets of this intensity. Delicious now and opens very well with a quick decant. Best from 2019-2030." chironwines.com $55.00 750ml
