Filled with rich, ripe red fruits, displaying the long, warm growing season of 2020. Earth tones, dried flowers, dried cured meats, and woodsmoke finish out a complex nose. Mouth is full with plenty of fruit, soft texture and good acidity. Rich fruit combines with fine tannins to create a round, long, evolving finish. Good length and finishes with dried herbs, cedar, and cherry skins.
