Dry and briskly acidic, this is rich in cherry, mocha and spice flavors that are just starting to turn the corner and develop aged bottle notes. Fascinating now, it should continue to evolve over the next several years, gradually dropping fruit and picking up earthiness.

This needs decanting, but after some air this Pinotage—a rarity in California—bears aromas of dark plum, cherry and leather pouch, followed by a deep root-beer note. Strong in flavor and body, the finish veers bitter before righting itself back on course.
