Saw this wine at a store near me and since I've never had it or anything from this producer I grabbed a bottled to try it out. Decanted 4 hours. Laden with black cherries, smoke, meat, graphite, and thankfully no overt oak. The tannins really come out on the lengthy finish. A tough grape to tame on its own and this producer has done a wonderful job.
