Been sitting on this for a while. The wait was definitely worth it.

Slight flowers on the aroma but then the flavors are intense with lush dark berries, chocolate, licorice and cedar that coat the tongue. The finish is tight.

Great bottle for the price. Lush Howell Mountain fruit. Well integrated tannins. Very approachable now but better with age.

These wines will be a regular buy from now on, wowed by these, I passed on them in the past because of the label, looks & sounds like a supermarket wine, big mistake on my part
