Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and earthy spice, includes small amounts of red Bordeaux varietals. On the palate flavors of blackberry, raspberry and black currant with cinnamon, cacao and earthy notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, fine full tannins, long finish ending with fruit and tobacco spice! Nice!
