Nose

Palate

floods the mouth with sweet black cherry, chocolate
and currants. This delicious wine has fine acidity that
gives way to soft sweet tannins, vanilla, and oak
flavors. Fruit, oak and acidity are in excellent balance,
and yield a brooding wine, with great texture, depth
and concentration, and a long finish.

Aging

(40%) American Oak, (67% new)

Food Pairing

This wine will
