Not subtle or delicate, this wine has a bold personality. From the dark purple in the glass to the generous aromatics and intense flavor. The nose gives up cassis, ripe plum, cedar and cigar box. The palate delivers tannins from start to finish, surrounded by a soft acidity and silky texture. The flavors range from crushed blueberries, stewed plum and raspberry jam. Below this lies the oak elements, that embody more of the toasted marshmallow and slight vanilla pod flavors. Rich, full bodied and complex.
