Blackberry, black cherry, baking spice, violets, forest floor, seaweed. Very firm structure and brooding black fruit with a pronounced salinity. Just a baby, so give it a nice hard decant or preferably a few years in the cellar.

Uncomplicated but pleasant, leaning toward quite ripe flavors. Enough freshness to avoid being heavy, but just barely. A California feel to this, like big RRV pinots.
