This was really nice... toss up between a 90/91! A very dark, but clear black-red color. Soft dark fruit aroma. Taste was nice medium-full with a nice balance of both tannins and acidity. Nice oak with a mice level of black fruit and plum. I think time in the bottle has improved this nicely, actually, I don’t remember this being this good in 2015 when I tasted this at the winery. Nice Job!

Loads of fruit. That's the biggest impression I'm left with. On the nose there is light floral, fruit and a hint ofunderlying smoke. Fruit dominates on the palate and goes just over my threshold for "sweetness". I'm torn, it's a solid wine but just a little too fruit forward for me.
