WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Enticing aromas of crisp red fruit, dried herb, cedar, and clove lead to a palateladen with lush layers of cherry, plum, and black currant, accented by hints ofblack pepper and crushed rock. Supple, well-integrated tannins combine withvibrant freshness to deliver a wine characterized by structured elegance andstrikingly powerful concentration and intensity.
TASTING NOTES:
Juicy and open in feel, with friendly plum sauce and blackberry preserves carried by black licorice and singed apple wood. Fruit-driven, but with good underlying juicy energy. Drink now through 2033.
