Nose

Aromatic notes of clove, sweet tobacco leaf, baking chocolate, raspberry, and leather are finely interlaced.

Palate

The palate experience is plush and round with mouth-coating notes of plum skin, cassis, rhubarb, crushed strawberries, cinnamon and violets. With some time in the glass, this wine will open up and showcase all the best attributes of 2014: pronounced aromatics, detailed varietal expression and a fine sense of place.

Appearance

This wine has a nearly opaque red-purple hue in the glass with a garnet halo.
