A big earthy nose! Damp earth and mushroom are forward over black cherry and brown spice. On the palate, great acidity brightens things and pushes the cherry and spice up over the earthy character, without covering it entirely. This is a wow wine if you like a dense, earthy style. Albatross Ridge is a new player to watch!
