Initially I get fresh wild cherry and delicate spice notes, but with a curious and enticing aroma of lavender and resinous pine needles flitting through the background. The wine provides a dab of lushness across the midpalate quickly followed with the classic structural qualities of Bryan Creek. The length is long and true and speaks of the future
