Nose

This wine exhibits a powerful intensity on the nose that delivers an array of rustic and savory aromas. An earthy quality that smells like the woods after a first rain, followed by anise, clove, bacon fat and smoked meat.

Palate

On the palate the wine gives way to flavors of cooked down blueberries, black plum skin, and black olive tapenade. This is a full-bodied and serious wine, sure to pair well with any umami-driven dish.
