Deep ruby. Aromas of spicy, crystallized dark berries. Supple and lush, with good concentration and enticing sweetness. Minerally suggestion of graphite. Finishes with dusty, even tannins and a slightly edgy quality. An expressive wine that should give early pleasure.

Rating for United States-California: 90 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
