TASTING NOTE:
Inky purple-red. Black pepper, and shaved graphite intertwine with boysenberry and lavender. The palate is tightly coiled by tannins so powdery that filter through the palate. Effortless poise and with so much energy, this is a wine that will unfurl over the years to come.
FOOD MATCH: Lamb shoulder, beef ragu
