Estate grown fruit from high elevation bush-pruned vines planted in 1915.
Deep violet. Lively cherry and blueberry scents pick up baking spice and game accents as the wine opens up. Lively and precise on the palate, offering bitter cherry, cassis and smoked meat flavors that turn sweeter through the back half. Closes long, smoky and tight, with a repeating cherry note and firm tannic grip. 91pts-VINOUS
