WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The nose is very complex and fresh, with intense, forward fruit of cherry and raspberry mingled with gentle toasted almond notes. The wine has a very good attack, with elegant and succulent tannins. Fruit flavors emerge on the mid-palate, especially cherry, while the elegant finish combines the fullness of fresh fruit with the refinement of the Casablanca terroir.
TASTING NOTES:
Lots of cranberries, dried cloves and licorice here with a hint of dried orange peel. This is soft and savory on the palate with earthy berries and sleek tannins.
