Profound dark color. There are currants, boysenberries, and wild huckleberries on the nose with notes of roasted thyme and mint, fresh cedar, and forrest thicket. On the palate are flavors of peppered fruit, sweet tannins, and a long finish of smoke and minerals. This elegant Bordeaux style blend has a perfect balance of ripe fruit character, firm but silky tannins and fresh acidity with excellent aging potential. It is an honest and unfettered expression of what Coombsville AVA has to offer with its cool climate and volcanic soils. Drink now to enjoy its opulent fruit or over the next 5-15 years as it develops bottle bouquet and layers of complexity.
