Color Purple & ruby
Nose: Some toasty oak acts as an undercurrent to the blackberry fruit and even some cherry
Palate: Tastes a bit young, with good tannic structure, not to be anticipated for a state-wide wine. Tastes as if there is some Cab Sauv in there, but I can't find any info on the wine. Quite good, almost a 4, but I need some more time to see if the great parts of the structure integrate over the next year or so. Great depths of fruit and acidity. Good stuff!
