Smoky and toasty notes frame plum, licorice, tobacco and mineral notes in this savory red. Has a polished texture, with balanced structure, good depth and a clean, spicy finish.
Spice- and mineral-accented red berries and floral oils on the perfumed nose. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors...finishing with strong thrust; fine-grained tannins add shape and grip to the wine's energetic fruit.
...opens with aromas of lightly stewed black fruits and baked beans...chewy and rich, with a syrupy leaning. Flavors of oak-based hickory, toast and savory spices accent blackberry fruit, while the finish is toasty, peppery and dark in character.
Ripe, cooked fruit on the nose. Lots of sweet spice on the nose and a full, ripe body.
