cre8destiny's Review: Fresh and bright currants and plums though starting to develop secondaries of leather and cedar notes. Keen focus on the palate with layered curranty notes. Excellent balance with a dash of sweetness that says "New World". Not overly ripe or worked over. An excellent drop that will go on for another 5 years at least.

cre8destiny's Review: Lifted nose of dark cherry skins backed by hints of wood spices, leather and earth. Medium bodied palate. Red fruit, oak, tannin and acid are well integrated, giving the wine a velvety texture. Drinking beautifully now though should go for a couple of years more.
