This elegant and concentrated red wine is a well-balanced exhibition of both grace and muscle. The aromas of dark cherry and plum are framed by a confluence of both vanilla bean and shaved chocolate, with a backdrop of spice that prepare the palate for this complex wine. The velvety, sumptuous, and energetic palate sings with bramble fruit, cherry, spice, and cracked pepper. The mouthwatering finish concludes with polished yet firm tannins.
