Earthy, cocoa powder aromatics combine with ripe black fruits on the palate. Lengthy, robust, full bodied and fully flavored, this powerful wine is carried by powdery-fine tannins and a persistent, palate-cleansing acidity.

A very refined and polished red with fine tannins, bright acidity and a tangy undertone. Medium-bodied, juicy and savory. Citrusy. Drink or hold.

There's a caressing feel to the mix of cassis and boysenberry puree flavors that are gilded with a pretty violet note. The long finish has a toasty edge and lingers prettily. This doesn't have a ton of range, but everything is in proportion and ready to go. Drink now through 2032. 70,065 cases made.
