Ripe black and blue fruits of berry intertwine with dark chocolate, violet, rosemary, garam masala, caramel, and cedar notes that dominate up front and transition to vanilla, green tea and white pepper with licorice and coffee bean on the finish. Bold, silky and firm tannins melt across the palate with a very broad mid-palate that leads to a smooth, lingering finish. This wine should age well over the next 5-10 years.
