Lisa Perrotti-Brown called this \"... Full-bodied, rich and densely packed [with] exuberant fruit [framed by] chewy tannins ... with lingering pepper and spice notes\" and suggested a drinking window extending from 2017 to 2025. (robertparker.com, Oct. 31, 2017) TASTING NOTE: A juicy and rich red with blackberry, blueberry and mint. Full body, chewy tannins and a fresh finish. A vivid petite sirah. Drink now.
