Beautiful nose of smoke, violet, black tea and bright cherry. Crisp acidity and lively red fruit flavors. Concentrated flavors of tea, black fruit and crunchy cranberry - delicious

Spice, tar and licorice in an incredibly focused presentation! Nice but intense.

Wow!!! Perfectly balanced, long creamy finish with strong, yet not overbearing dark fruit. An exceptional wine although very young. I can't wait to try in another 4-5 years.
