Allen Meadows - Score: 91-93 (2019 Jan.)

An exuberantly fresh nose is comprised by the essence of red cherry, pomegranate, earth and a suggestion of the sauvage. There is fine concentration, focus and obvious power to the larger-scaled flavors that culminate in a long, mineral-driven and balanced finish though the markedly firm and grippy tannins flash a touch of rusticity. This is clearly built to age and is going to need it.
