  just hitting its prime. Love this company and find mostly underpriced for what they bring ti the table.

  This continues to hold up well in 2018. Perfumed nose of lilacs, black liquorice pastels, black cardamom, nutmeg, camphor bark, and copious handfuls of dried black currants and blueberries. The fruits are going tertiary in an entirely appropriate and pleasant fashion, although some primary purple and black creeds remain. Mid-palate is loaded with blackberries, mentholated tobacco, Mission figs, black currant wine gums, peppered jerky, wintergreen, black olives, molasses, dark chocolate. Silky smooth tannins and still clinging to some Viognier-mediated freshness. I’m thinking now is a good time to drink, though.
