Deep inky purple color - you might almost think this was Petite Sirah. Potent, ripe blackberry and blueberry fruits spring from the glass, along with roasted herbs like wild sage. Youthful texture, and the herbal influence definitely comes through in the rich, complex flavors. Somewhat gritty tannins in the mouth promise long life for this one. Powerful mouth presence, this one needs food and will only get better. - HK 2023-07-17
