WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The wine has a ruby, garnet color with aromas of black cherry, spice and cedar. On the palate, the wine is plush, medium bodied with a firm acid backbone and a dry finish. A portion of the wine is being aged in 32% new French oak and 4% new American oak.
TASTING NOTES:
Savory, slightly reductive aromas of damp soil, charcoal and tar meet with dark berry on the nose of this bottling, which steadily opens up with air. The palate's asphalt minerality gives way to dried plum, dark spice and espresso bean, making for a familiar experience.
