Winemaker Notes
Careful handling of this wine in the cellar amplified the natural attributes of the ripe grapes. Barrel aging helped to tame the tannins while contributing its bounty of flavors to the wine. Black cherry, black olive, and chocolate mingle with vanilla, cedar, and toasted hazelnut. The finish is longlasting, with a rush of flavors and elegant tannins embracing the palate.
