Nose
Aromas of crushed red berry fruit, plum jam and the spicy notes typical of this varietal hint at the palate.
Palate
The rich berry flavors and firm tannin structure combines structure with polish, offering notes of ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, grilled herb and toasty spice that linger toward refined tannin leading to a richly layered and concentrated palate. The wine is full bodied, but plush and soothing in texture.
