Tasting Note:September 18, 2017

Coravinned a touch to see how this is showing. Medium ruby red. Elegant nose with notes of lavender, violets, a little bell pepper and spice. Medium tannins (5/10) and medium bodied. Soft and elegant palate too with floral notes, red cherries, raspberries, spices and a touch of gravel. Got a little green as it aired in the glass. Medium plus body.
