Aromatically intense, the wine opens with blackberry compote, fresh violets, black plum skin, espresso roast, crushed graphite, and a dusting of volcanic rock. Dark and powerful fruit is lifted by floral notes and a savory mountain freshness that reflects its volcanic Stagecoach origins. Luxuriously textured yet remarkably defined, this vintage is framed by finely-knit tannins and graphite minerality, while a small addition of Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure, persistence, and a lingering finish of cassis, espresso, and dark chocolate.
