Wow, does this wine overperform its price point. And still youthful. Remarkably dark red. Nose raspberry, red cherry, herbs, tobacco. Remarkably complex. SOmewhat like old school southern Rhone meets a good burgundy, with some Cornas wildness thrown in. Beguiling. Roast meat, cocoa. Palate beautifully balanced, great fruit with big acid support. Herbal and mineral. Oak there, but so wonderfully integrated. Long finish. And evolves over time in glass. Wow.

No formal note, a great reminder of this very solid varietal and why I should drink it more often, it has well placed characteristics that are almost always enjoyable, with red fruit, earth tones and typically a longer run finish.

Warning: seems to disappear from your glass. Very drinkable with food or on its own. Still a very young wine.

Big musky nose. Medium to full bodied wine with jammy fruit and a bit extra acid. Very enjoyable.
