Winemaker Comments:
This wine presents a deep purple, nearly opaque color. Vibrant
aromas follow with black cherry, chocolate, cocoa and toasty
nuances. On the palate, the flavors shine with a rich complexity
that is supple and harmonious. Black raspberry and blackcurrant
fruit support a silky tannin structure, co-mingling with vibrant
cherry and vanilla oak characters. The finish is restrained and
elegant, supporting the fruit and leading to a lingering finish
that dances away across the palate.
