Dark red/purple color with no indication of age. The nose is very expressive with blackberry, dark cherry, cola, and an interesting peach note with air. On the palate, ripe blackberry, cherry, peach, and raspberry complete the fruit profile while light graphite and sweet oak appear on the finish. The is balanced acidity to hold the fruit, and while the tannins are still there, there are well-rounded and integrated into a solid finish. Overall, Augie did an outstanding job allowing the Booker Vineyard character to shine through while keeping this wine from being overblown or overworked. There is a sweet oak signature, but it matches the fruit well and enhances the overall experience. It paired very well with the grilled flank steak we consumed that evening.
