Graphite, dark tobacco, dark minerals, spices and layered fruit. Freshness and complexity are the words here. Juicy and fine-grained on the palate with tight, dusty tannins and a focused, lengthy finish. An excellent vintage. Fruit from Uco. Drink or hold.

There's an alluring, wild quality to this red, with chaparral and mountain herb notes up front. In contrast, olive, peppercorn and fresh leather accents chime in to join the concentrated core of plum and berry flavors, which lengthen nicely around fresh acidity before finishing smooth, with a lingering herbal element. Drink now through 2040. 40,000 cases made, 7,000 cases imported.
