The 2017 Canon is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out with showy notions of rose oil, Indian spices, and cedar chest, over a core of juicy black plums and black cherries, with a waft of black truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with bright, expressive black fruits, supported by fine-grained tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and fragrant.
