Stylish and broad, with firm black tea tannins that wrap around notes of blackberry preserves and macerated damson plum. There are intriguing details of black pepper and dried herbs on the big-boned frame, all draped in singed apple wood smoke. Iron and violet echo on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2032. 800 cases made, 50 cases imported.

A juicy, balanced and supple red with notes of sweet cherries, cassis and warm peppercorns. It’s medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Attractive, with a velvety texture and a well-rounded finish. Drink or hold.
