Rugged mountain character shows immediately with dark cherry and crushed stone minerality. The elevated Coastview site delivers real intensity and grip, built on firm tannins that anchor the wine's concentrated core. Smoky spice notes linger, though the finish falls short of the promise shown mid-palate.
