Barrel Sample. This is a fruity, juicy wine, generous in texture and balanced in acidity. The tannins are caught up and lost in this welter of fruit.

Singed alder and juniper notes form a slightly dusty but alluring perfumed frame around a core of gently mulled plum and blackberry fruit. Shows a light lilac accent on the finish, with the fruit lingering steadily. Best from 2020 through 2030. 12,500 cases made.
