Lots of pure cassis, tobacco leaf, lead pencil shavings, chocolate, and spring flowers...ripe, seamless, incredibly sexy 2019 that has great tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a seriously impressive finish.
A fragrant nose of dark cherries, dark plums, earth, walnuts, stones and baking spices. Medium-to full-bodied with plush tannins. Layered and creamy with plenty of dark fruit on the palate and a lively, spicy finish.
...gorgeous. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice and cloves give Ripeau its distinctly dark flavor profile.
...ambitious nose of cedar and clove oil over a core of baked plums, stewed black cherries, dried mulberries and fruitcake with touches of mocha and sautéed herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a solid, chewy frame and just enough freshness to support the baked berries flavors, finishing a tad firm.
