big, dark and brash, and very much in the modern california style, meaning it's rich, creamy, oaky and full-bodied. the nose brings toast, heat and potency, while the flavors are saturated, spicy and revolve around wild berry, tea, spice, caramel and savory warmth. only gets better as it opens and airs; drink now through 2012.
