Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 15
(vinified with 25% whole clusters): Good medium red. Red fruits, spices and warm earth tones on the inviting nose. Creamy, sweet and pliant in the middle, with a touch of stony minerality to brace the red fruit and spice flavors. Not quite as sharply chiseled as it appeared to be from barrel a year earlier but should offer relatively early pleasure. Finishes with thoroughly ripe, refined tannins and excellent breadth and length.
