Nose

On the nose, it’s full of raspberry, lavender, mocha, blackberry leaf and sweet baking spices.

Palate

Bold, rich mountain flavors of blackberry, bright raspberry, and dark plum balanced with captivating notes of lavender, cocoa, smoky vanilla and all manner of deliciously complex lingering flavors. Warm, youthful tannins are in balance, though they will take a few years to soften out. If you like younger wines with fresher flavors, drink this now. If you want the wine to mature and soften its youthful vigor, give it some years in bottle.

Aging

Unfined and unfiltered. 26 months in barrel. French and European oak is used exclusively
