TASTING NOTES:
Intense wild berry aromas, dark ruby in color. Seductive entry,
bright fruit with dense middle, supple tannin increasing in
intensity for long, persistent finish. Broad, velvety texture, dark
fruit, cassis, dry crushed stone flavors with long return. French
oak integrated but not dominant, lifting the wine. Harmonious
with assertive, fine grained tannins. |
