Nose

The nose is seductive with creamy black cherry and complementary notes of anise, Italian herbs, and a touch of white pepper.

Palate

Plush notes of ripe plum on the entry followed by red cassis, raspberry, traces of dark chocolate, and leather. Incredibly dense and powerful, this wine finishes with supple tannins, bright acidity, and earth-driven tones of lavender, forest floor, allspice and Rutherford dust.

Aging
