TASTING NOTES: This is a dark, powerful wine, extracted from slowly and fully ripened fruit. On the nose the wine offers copious aromas of black cherry, blackberry, black licorice, raspberry with nicely
integrated, lightly toasted ad spicy oak aromas, and hints of vanilla. In the background there are hints of
red pepper and spice, which elevate and balance the aromas of this wine. On the palate, the wine is
bold and well-extracted. It bursts on to the palate with a deeply layered texture and medium grain
tannins, followed by a lush midpalate on long lingering finish.
