Shop review: Spent 9 months in 50% new French and American oak. Notes of balsam wood, smoke, black cherry, and spice box lead to a similarly styled wine that comes off as just a bit too lean. Again, the flavors are pleasant, but it should be drunk over the next several years while it retains its fruit.
My review: A thicker than normal feel. You can taste dark fruity notes but the majority is rich in a woody earthy flavor. There are hints of spice here and there. The taste is bold and lingers in the mouth.
I did not have food with this tasting.
