An attractive dark ruby/purple color is followed by black currant, spice box and loamy soil (often referred to as Rutherford dust) aromas. Medium to full-bodied with good purity, soft tannins and an up-front style, this may be the finest effort I have tasted from Hewitt. The wine’s balance and depth should insure at least 15 years of graceful drinking. Tel. (707) 968-3638
