Winemaker Notes
Vibrant deep crimson with ruby hues. Fragrant cassis and crushed fresh herbs interwoven with subtle layers of dusty, earthy notes. Up front cassis flavors continue on the complex palate with rich, dark chocolate mingling with the smooth and silky tannin structure.

Beautifully deep aromas of red and dark berries here with a ripe dark-plum and blackcurrant core, as well as plenty of fresh-herb notes. The palate has a very assertive, juicy feel with fresh acidity leading dark-berry and plum flavors. Drink or hold.
