Enticing floral aromas of rich black summer berries, dark plum, blueberry, dried cherry and wild herbs, over spicy cedar and earthy mineral notes. Lush palate of black cherry, cooked plum, cassis, espresso, dried tobacco, dark chocolate, and a touch of earth and spicy oak. Rich and smooth finish, with silky tannins and peppery spice. Wonderful wine
