"Ready to drink"

“Even more mature, darker, and more concentrated, [...] the 2016 vintage is also more rustic and leans more toward dark fruit than red fruit. The tannins are more abundant, with a fine, slightly firm texture, likely extracted during the 15 months of aging in new and two-year-old barrels. 5,000 bottles were produced.” (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

Even more mature, darker, and more concentrated, [...] the 2016 Original is also more rustic and leans more toward dark fruit than red fruit. The tannins are more abundant, with a fine, slightly firm texture, likely drawn out during the 15 months of aging in new barrels and two-year-old barrels. 5,000 bottles were produced.

Rated: Recommended

About the wine:

It has a fairly open nose for a two-year-old wine. It also has a smoky quality. It’s quite supple on the palate, but the still-firm tannins come through on the finish.
