Bright medium ruby. Medicinal black cherry, crushed blueberry, cocoa powder and violet on the nose, along with a faint Cabernet Franc-like weediness. Then youthful and primary, with sweet black fruit, violet and bitter chocolate flavors complicated by good herbal cut. A firm-edged, persistent wine that shows lively acids on the finish.

Good full ruby. Black fruits, licorice and minerals on the nose; shows the porty surmaturité of many of the other 2002s from this winery but boasts a bit more lift than the kenefick bottling. Fat, sweet, large-scaled and full, with brooding, medicinal flavors of cassis and black cherry. This, too, is in a rather unrefined style. Finishes with big, dusty tannins.
