Nose
Fragrant aromas of dark berries, cassis, wild mountain herbs and earth.
Palate
On the palate, the deep flavors of dark cherry, blueberry, mineral and bittersweet chocolate are lifted with secondary notes of white pepper, fresh sage and roasted walnuts, silky texture, soft tannins, firm structure, and a long, lingering finish.
Growing Conditions
