Purple Violet glass with a translucent scarlet Violet rim. Medium nose of blackberry, tobacco, vanilla, blueberry, loam, and smoke. On the palate, the sharp young tannins charge in with a nice acidic tartness of the berries, cherry, and a hint of pomegranate. Tannins drive a nice long finish where tartness meets a little chocolate. This wine is fair value now at $19.98 but should be fantastic 3 years from now. Still great now with steak or rich food.
