Nose

Supple, soft fruits, with ripe blackberry, black currant, cherry, red licorice, cocoa powder, and cardamon notes. Really lovely!

Palate

Youthfull tannins with deep complexity and a super long finish.

Growing Conditions

The growing season was ideal. Cool foggy mornings gave way to toasty 90 degree afternoons, day after day all summer long. Perfect for producing rich, ripe wines with exceptional depth and terroir.
