Color: Ruby with lighter edges

Nose: Closed at first and still young, but after 20m+ in the glass, good earthy baked cherry and sage & rosemary.

Palate: Baked red fruit here as well, with raspberry and more of a fruit forward style with round tannin and a spicy black pepper finish, though the acid could be more balanced.
