A rich and elegant blend with balanced tannin and acidity that can be enjoyed now but will continue to develop complexity with age. Dark fruits with hints of herb, tobacco, and graphite. The palate unfolds with black currant, raspberry and plum skins intertwined with French oak spices and structured tannins.

Supple red berry and tart cherry aromas on the nose develop into savory spices, cocoa and black plum flavors as they coat the palate. A textural experience, this wine is vibrant on the tongue with undulating flavors of raspberry jam, dusty minerality and vanilla lead to a powerful finish.

Blackberries, currants, mocha, dried herbs, chocolate and walnuts on the nose. Full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Flavorful, savory finish. Drink or hold. Suckling
