Bold, juicy and vibrantly youthful, this wine smells of briar patch. Its fullbodied palate follows in the same direction, offering taut black-plum skin contrasted by underbrush and damp earth tones. It is vibrantly fresh with nicely concentrated fruit, but rather straightforward flavors lead to a pleasantly minerally finish. Drink now–2019.
