Bright cherries, plums, kirsch, smoke and oak toast, coffee, earth, leather, anise, quince. Delightfully fruit driven yet incredibly mineral. It has the earthiness you'd expect in a CDP but it's very approachable to those who prefer a lighter touch. Eminently drinkable now; great with everything from tuna tartare to filet mignon!

Nice fruit, light structure, over powered by the meal.

A @garyvee recommendation, jammy almost like a Zin but with a firm acidity. Will evolve nicely.

Lively fruit, gentle mid length finish. Timing is right!

Bolder than expected with deep cdp flavors and a nice tannin spice at the finish.

Still a bit young but drank well. Earthy notes with warm spices.
