Tasting notes:

This wine has an intense dark ruby color. As you might expect the color hints that you will get blackberry and black cherry aromas. Those primary fruit aromatics are balanced by rose petal, mint and a touch of olive tapenade. The wine is full on the palate showing dark skinned plum and ripe black cherry with a nice cigar box note that lingers on the finish. Over the past 12 months this wine has fully integrated and is very harmonious from the front of the palate through the finish. (Updated 2.15.21 - Alan)
