A complex bouquet of berries, cedar, cinnamon and earth leads into a chewy, full palate of cherries supported by brisk acidity. Young and frisky, it closes with zingy tannins that are a little astringent now, but give it a year or two; there’s good fruit here.

Shows modest dark cherry fruit with cedar and leather accents. A lean, even mouthfeel and moderate acidity mark the palate. The tart dried-fruit flavors turn somewhat sour on the back end.
