Powerful and deeply colored with notes of dark cherry, berry cobbler, graphite and fresh cigar box and an enticing waft of violets and crushed lilacs, this juicy red is vibrant and full of mouthwatering acidity. The core of ripe fruit lingers and stands up to the bold tannins which are also offset by the supple textures on the palate.  Showing itself to be delicious to indulge in now, the extended finish also hints at a wonderful evolution ahead.
