WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Intense ruby red, turning to garnet-red with ageing. On the nose, blackberry and flowers. It is a wine of great character, soft tannins, and is velvety and refined, serving as a powerful accompaniment to rich sauces.
TASTING NOTES:
This poised, polished red shows rich aromas of red cherry dipped in spirits alongside accents of menthol and tobacco. It's gentle and smooth on the medium-bodied palate, with a pert cherry flavor wrapped in dewy herbs and cigar box accents. Smooth tannins and bright acidity lend a cohesive texture to this red.
- Wine Enthusiast, 91 pts.
Rich red and black berries with hints of sea shells, dried herbs and a touch of balsamic. Medium-to full-bodied with a relaxed palate, where the firm, fine and polished tannins bring out a drier aspect of the fruit. This needs another year to meld together better.
