Wine EnthusiastThis note is a snapshot in time. Tasted several months from now, who knows what the score might be? For now, on the cusp of release, it shows aromas of blueberries and a meaty note similar to bacon fat. Red-apple and sour-cherry flavors are flanked by a cedar note, moderate acidity and silky tannins.
