Simply superb! An alluring bouquet of fresh roses opens to layers of ripe raspberry, pomegranate, dark cherry, and cranberry. The palate is velvety and beautifully balanced, with pure, generous fruit framed by exotic baking spices and a subtle touch of creamy oak. Its bold Russian River character is matched by an elegant, almost Burgundian finish that lingers with remarkable poise and complexity. Delicious now with a brief decant, yet structured to evolve gracefully over the next decade.
