This is the base wine for this winery. Only 44 cases produced. Inky purple, opaque and bright. The nose is tight on opening but after an hour or so, this opens nicely to show cassis, char and slight cedar notes. Firm tannins. On the palate, cassis, blueberries, and cedar. A long finish with some cola notes. This is delicious. Still young, it needs a couple more years in the cellar and then should drink well for ten to fifteen more. Great on its own, it will need big food at this point. Perhaps slow braised beef short ribs would be nice.
