Winemaker Notes: Inky purple in color with a beautiful nose of ripe cassis, followed by dried cherries, subtle cigar box and leather notes. The palate is very supple and rich with juicy wild cherry, dark chocolate, and light allspice followed again by layers and layers of black fruit. The fine grained tannins lead to beautiful complexity in the finish. The wine responds very well to decanting and develops right in the glass. Polished with no hard edges, this is a wine to cellar, or enjoy now.
