Deep red with aromas of dark berry fruit, oak and Forrest floor. On the palate sour cherry with smoke, cedar and spice notes, savory. Medium finish with grainy tannins ending sharp with earthy tones.

Cherry, red licorice, some game and botanical herbs. Soft on the palate, bursting fresh red fruits, cherry, plum, graphite and subtle coffee notes. Such an incredible wine!

May 4th, 2017Deep red with Berry fruit aromas and sweet spice. The palate shows cherry, plum and blueberry flavors with vanilla oak. The finish shows medium acidity, fine tannins with some espresso and tobacco on the ending. Very nice!
