Zach says, “Dark purple in the glass with a crimson rim. Complex nose. First I get pencil shavings, which slowly fades into something of meat with a cherry glaze. On the end, there are notes of vanilla/cedar. Full bodied. High acidity. Mod tannin. Long cherry finish with oaky undertones. Concentrated. Super congruent. Everything works in harmony. 9.5/10.”

Lauren says, “Deep plum color. Aroma of rich cassis, blackberry pie, and smoke. Full body. Heavy, rich tannins. High acidity. Needed an hour to open up. A very good, rich/heavy wine. Flavor of blackberry, cherry, oak, and cassis with a long ending. Fruitier than I expected. 9/10.”
