On the nose this wine exhibits ripe black fruit aromas, earth, pepper, pencil led, mineral, and a touch of dried herbs and flowers. It certainly displays a rustic and very Rhone-like muskiness, which is actually quite appealing and a nice change from the every day fruit-driven wines made in the sunny appellations of California.
On the palate the wine shows some really nice mixed berry flavors that combine with hints of cedar, mineral, pavement, and again pencil led. This is definitely a food wine that I can see paring quite nicely with some rosemary rubbed lamb chops! It is rustic and bloody wine that cries out for game meats and funky chunks of meat.....cool stuff...87 points.
