Bright with a dark purple/black core and a lighter ruby purple rim showing slow-forming, moderately stained tears on the glass. Attractively aromatic and complex with ripe black and red cherry, black currant, new book leather, cedar, tobacco, vanilla bean, licorice, and oak. Full-bodied on the palate with ripe complex cherry, cassis, and a subtle red berry fruit on entry, with vanilla and licorice baking spice leading into the midpalate, which shows complex savory notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and leather. The very long, complex, and continually changing finish is a progression of sustained ripe cherry fruit accented by baking spice and oak notes, with smooth chewy tannins and balanced acidity, adding depth and freshness. The 2020 ISOSCELES is an exceptional wine that provides both an intensity and balance that allows it to hold its own when paired with deeply flavored dishes like a slow-cooked beef short rib braise, filet mignon, or venison steak.
