On the nose, dark currants, black licorice, dark cherries, strawberries, black raspberries, blackberries, jam, dry red florals, liquid violets, caramel, vanilla and crushed rocks. Palate of; black currants, M+ meaty tannins and the core flavor of anise, Then, the fruits start to distinguish themselves. Ripe; black cherries, blackberries & blueberries. Poached strawberries, plum and black raspberries, crushed rocks, soft, fine chalky minerals, liquid violets, decayed dark florals, soft leather, brewed coffee, sweetened black tea. Tannins lose some of their meatiness on the finish. The structure & balance are good with a warm, ripe fruit driven finish. Barrel tasted the 2016 vintage at the Nickel & Nickel Entrecôte. Aerial photo of where the vineyard is located on Diamond Mountain and the vineyard soil structure which is composed of a sandy, gravelly loam.

Very good, dark, intense. Would be even better over time.
