A chewy, chunky style that has plenty of tannins yet remains generous, with an approachable core of extracted blackberry and wild berry flavors. Ends as it starts, chewy and dense. Best from 2018 through 2028. 30,000 cases made.

The nose of this bottling is quite shy. After being open for hours, it begins to show dust and soil aromas, like sun-baked clay, crushed rocks and flint. The palate is also hard to decipher, with a little blackberry fruit but mostly dry, flat soil flavors.
