Tasting Notes
Inky purple in color, this wine opens up with aromas of blackberry, dark cherry and baked berry pie, followed by a hint of freshly oiled saddle leather and notes of vanilla and allspice. The palate is rich and smooth, wrapped in intense yet silky tannins and finishing with big notes of toasty oak and a touch of espresso and burnt marshmallow.
