An oaky cornucopia of fall spiced raspberries, cranberries and dried fruits. The cotton astringent finish leaves your mouth watering for another sip.
Age another 5 years for enhanced drinkability.

Blackberry, cassis, raspberry, mocha, vanilla, oak and eucalyptus. Great structure and soft tannins.

Heavy on oak. Black cherry flavor came up after a couple hours of breathing, but oak was still prevalent. If you like more oak and tobacco flavors in your wine, this is the one for you.
