Nose
A beautiful bouquet of black raspberry, pomegranate, rose hips, violets, acai black tea and hints of cloves.
Palate
The wild blackberry front leads to a full mouth of cassis, black raspberry, blueberry and hints of fresh tea leaf. The layers of complexity in the mid-palate are enhanced by young, elegant tannins delivering a weightless, yet concentrated finish of exceptional length.
Growing Conditions
The 2014 growing season started with an early bud break due to an early spring. As in the previous year, ideal conditions during bloom allowed for an almost perfect set. The temperate conditions continued through veraison in July and August, and the August earthquake did not affect the vines allowing the early harvest season to begin without interruption.
