Absolutely wild in aromatics, this wine smells of rose buds, Jolly Rancher watermelon candies and field strawberries. The palate enraptures with its satiny tannins, playful pinch of acidity and exuberant red-fruit-flavored juiciness. Lingering without apology, the finish adds a bit of rugged, enticing minerality with crushed slate hints. This wine is ready to enjoy but easily has the structure to hold several more years.
