Coastal acidity is the calling card up front in this glass, and it turns to a rich texture in the midpalate where black cherry, brown spice and a little lemon zest dance together in harmony. The finish brings the acidity back to the forefront, and it keeps the flavors coming. It is nicely integrated already and will reward a little cellar time.
