This is late release from 2013 celebrating a business milestone, and one certainly worthy of the occasion. It’s long on varietal character, with blackberry, cassis, bright fall spice and soft touches of mint and menthol all ripe and ready, yet tamed by vibrant acidity that keeps the flavors pumping together well after the liquid leaves your palate. Decant well now, or check in again in ten years if you’ve got that kind of time!
