Deep red. Slightly high-toned aromas of blackberry and violet. Juicy, high-pitched and intensely flavored, with a firm mineral underpinning and a brisk note of berry skin. Plenty of richness and texture. Finishes with firm tannins and very good length.

Rating for United States-California: 85 (average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
