Dry berry and balsam wood aromas are subdued and attractive. This feels slightly acidic, with a tomatoey feel to the hard-coated palate. It delivers pointed red-plum and wild-berry flavors, with a dash of spice. Drink now–2015.

Opens with minerally, almost metallic aromas, along with rubber and berry mixed in. Feels fresh and ready, with plum, berry and chocolaty flavors. Finishes with a smooth feel, but maybe it could use a bit more cut and tannic structure. A wine that falls squarely in the middle zone.

Plum, red berry and wild herb aromas combine to create a briary whole. As it airs, the nose turns lemony and hard, while the mouthfeel is tight and limited, with herbal, saucy, red berry flavors. Tomato and basil notes appear on the finish.
