This wine is astoundingly good, providing big juicy mouthfuls of fruit-forward yumminess, a mouthfeel that is as intriguing as it is exciting, and aromatics that kept this spy sniffing for a solid 5 minutes before ever even taking a sip.

Bold intensity with aromas of ripe black plum, sweet cherry, raspberry and ripe blackberry. These are all layered atop floral aromas of violet, earthen sweetwoods, and flinty minerals. A few people on my impromptu tasting panel independently detected banana and walnut!

Smooth, light weight and dry on the attack, this wine digs in, revealing a medium-body with medium-firm, but fine and well-structured tannins and a balanced acidity.
