Nose

aromas of deep, dark fruit – black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry – along with notes of black licorice, granite and wild herbs warmed by the sun.

Palate

The judicious use of new and seasoned oak endows the wine with subtle notes of cardamom, cola and vanilla, but it’s the power of the cassis-like fruit that wins out on the palate, with deeply concentrated flavors of this dark cherry liqueur. This is a highly-structured wine with a smooth tannic backbone that will reward long-term cellaring
