TASTING NOTES

Color:

A beautiful, powerfully intense, deep red cherry color. Very clean with a youthful color and rich potent legs, evident on the glass.

Nose:

Intense and very complex. Initially, ripe black fruit appears (blackberries, prunes, etc) that evolve into red fruit with touches akin to balsamic and fragrant herbs. As it evolves, very subtle shades of toast begin to emerge with hints of cocoa and licorice.

In the mouth:

As it enters the mouth it is clearly a very pleasant, powerful and fleshy wine with good structure. It has a very velvety, smooth mouth feel to it, as ripe black fruits begin to reveal themselves with notes of cocoa and licorice with an underlying subtle veil of toasty smokiness. Ripe fruit flavor dominates the oak. This is a complex wine that has a very long finish.
