As much about the silky texture as the pure cherry and raspberry flavors, this red is beautifully balanced and expressive. Shows density, with a chalky twinge of tannins lining the finish. Best from 2019 through 2033.

Rose, dried herb, menthol and a hint of tilled earth aromas take shape in the glass. On the palate, notes of licorice, graphite and orange zest add depth to a core of dried black cherry while firm, fine-grained tannins provide the framework. Drink 2018-2023.
