Plum with some mushroom, bark and cedar on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with polished, firm tannins and a delicious, juicy finish. Normally half merlot and cabernet franc.
Moving to the wines from bottle, the 2017 Asterisk offers a dense purple hue as well as a sweet nose of crème de cassis, mulberries, brambly herbs, chocolate, and toasted spices. Fruit-forward and charming, it still has ample mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and beautiful balance. I don't think it's going to make terribly old bones, but it's going to drink beautifully for at least 15-20 years.
