This red is expressive, fruity and driven by its bracing acidity, boasting cherry, raspberry, floral, vanilla, toasty oak and earth flavors. Firms up, leaving a dense path of tannins on the lingering finish. Elegant overall.
The nose is rich, with sweet oak spice enveloping dark cherries, pomegranate, orange zest, and a deep crush of violets—utterly pleasing. The palate is textured with round tannins. Vibrant acidity leaves behind traces of soft black cherry, mushroom, black peppercorn and black tea along the finish.
