Winemaker's Notes:
The color is deep magenta with black hues.
On the nose, red to black fruit characters of
raspberries and red currants
intermingle with darker cherry like
chocolate aromas. Subtle black
pepper and smoky notes, graphite
and scorched earth add complexity.
The palate opens gently with refined
definition, nicely accentuated by a
solid core of fruit weight without
heaviness. The acid balance supports
the very long but fine tannins. |
