Winemaker Eric Hickey’s blending skill is on display here, with a tasty mix of red and black cherry and gentle oak influence that fit a plush mid palate very nicely, and a finish with great push and full integration of flavors even in its youth. These wines have a solid track record for aging, and this is no exception.
