Crushed rock and black cherry define this austere mountain expression. The structure is impressive. Firm tannins grip the palate while bright acidity drives the finish. Pure fruit emerges gradually, but patience is essential for full integration. A compelling alternative to riper styles that should evolve beautifully through 2028.
