Shane’s Notes

This is an excellent wine. The palate is smooth, mildly concentrated and shows moderate complexity. The flavors include thyme, plum and a few other flavors we couldn’t identify (One flavor can best be described as “liquid lavender”). My only complaint is that I found it a touch rough, maybe from the oak.
