Opened an undisclosed amount of time before service; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2016 pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of brambles, stone fruit, tobacco, inorganic earth and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The label is fun and whimsical. The juice is serious. Tasty stuff. Drink now through 2036.
