Nose

An intriguing nose displays aromas of cola, cloves, leather, and plum.

Palate

Muscular tannins are well balanced by fruit and come into further harmony with earthy, sophisticated layers. On the palate huckleberry, cassis, and Morello cherries are matched by briny olive, walnut, and black pepper which drive toward a lingering finish. While beauty in its youth, this wine’s depth, and complexity promise to deliver further enjoyment with time.

Aging
