Opaque deep red with a vibrant ruby edge. The nose shows cassis, red plum, and black cherry before opening up to cocoa, vanilla, and baking spice with toast, sweet herb, and floral notes. Inviting, fresh, and intriguing, this wine will continue to integrate flavors and aromas over time. On the palate, red berries, cassis, blackberry, and plum. Structured and elegant with balanced acidity. Fresh red fruit on the entry followed by a broad mid-palate. Toasty, sweet oak frames the fruit and lends structure. The wine finishes with supple, ripe tannins and bittersweet cocoa. The acid balance makes this wine inviting, rich, and delicious.
