Winemaker Comments:
At first swirl, aromas of black berry, cardamom, black and white pepper and nutmeg emerge from the glass. After a few minutes, more subtle spicy components begin to integrate within the wine. On the palate, the flavors are dense and full bodied with dark fruits such as plum and black cherry. The tannins are substantial but smooth and the mouth feel is refined and integrated. The finish lingers with repeating themes of dense fruit and a long and satisfying finish.
