Tasting Note:April 21, 2017

First of the three blind tasted red this evening. Deep ruby core with a mix of garnet and brick edges. Layered nose with dark berries, leather, black cherries and a touch of raisins. Nice aged appeal. Very well integrated and balanced with moderate tannins (6/10). Mature palate with layers of dark stewed berries, forest floor and mushrooms. Medium bodied with a long finish.
