Aromas of mint, blackberry and cherry follow through to a full body with fine tannins and a persistent texture and flavor. Some age in large casks. A blend of mostly carmenere and cabernet sauvignon with some cabernet franc and merlot. Drink now.

Lightly roasted, leathery berry aromas are oaky but not overly woody or resiny. A dense, concentrated palate is creamy but appropriate in feel, while flavors of black cherry, cassis, baking spices, vanilla and caramel end in a lasting swirl of licorice, nutmeg and cocoa powder flavors.
