Highly Recommended

VineSugar Review:

Simply stunning. Enticing aromas of wild black berries and spices wrap nuances of rich earth tones, vanilla and hearty oak. Letting it open up reveals aromas of smokey, aged beef and herbs. Beautifully deep hues set up the blanket of fruit that bursts of the palette. Perfectly balanced. Loads of full-bodied tannins that truly linger but never overpowers the complexity this wine offers.

Winemaker Notes

This wine explodes with aromas of ripe blueberries, black cherries, cocoa, vanilla, and touches of spices. With patience and some decanting, this wine has layers of gushy tannins that will reward your palate. The aroma foreshadow what the flavor delivers layers of dark berry fruit and exotic spices that persist on the palate. This wine should age very nicely for seven to ten years when cellared at 55 degrees.
