Appearance

Bright with a dark ruby/purple core with black secondary hue and lighter at the rim with slow forming, moderately stained tears on the glass.

Aroma

Aromatic with rich ripe black cherry and boysenberry jam fruit with oak, vanilla, cracked pepper, smoke with herbal and leather notes.

Palate

Full-bodied, rounded and luxuriant with berry jam and cherry fruit, baking spice and oak on the entry. The mid-palate has sustained fruit with complex savory elements of cracked pepper, dried herbs, leather, smoke and mouth filling tannins that meet and balance the wine’s massive fruit core through a long, fresh finish with sustained fruit, sweet spice.
