Nose
On the nose, heady aromas of juicy plum, dried lavender, ashy
forest floor and a hint of cured meat integrate well with the sweet oak.
Palate
Lush and lively on
the palate, this wine displays a beautiful complexity of flavors with cherry, black pepper
and coffee supported by sweet fruit and well integrated tannins. Plush, with an expansive,
velvety, long finish, this wine will age beautifully.
Aging

Appearance
medium deep in color with a lovely ruby hue displays beautiful
varietal characteristics.
