Tasting Notes

The intense violet color of this wine is absolutely incredible. It is a delicious and supple wine that offers a rich array of ripe plum, espresso, and black currant along with some earthy cedar scents. There is plenty of toasty, vanilla scented oak, packed with spice and smoke. A concentrated, voluptuous wine with strong fruit background with a creamy tannic finish.
