Winemaker Notes
This deep ruby colored wine offers pleasing aromas of rich blackberry fruit, varietal spice, and hints of vanilla. Flavors extend onto the palate with lush plum and dark cherry essence, along with complex layers of vanilla oak and black pepper. Abundant tannins are soft and silky, for a full-bodied impression on the palate that concludes with a long lingering finish.
