Tasting Note

The bouquet has lifted floral aromas of violets and wild thyme combined with red fruits and a savory earthiness. The palate has crushed raspberries and bright red cherry flavors interlaced with forest floor, coffee bean, and bramble nuances. The wine has a focused frame and a spicy backbone. Velvety tannins and firm structure will ensure this wine ages gracefully.
