Appearance
Clear with a deep purple-ruby core that lightens to bright ruby at the rim with persistent, slow forming tears and subtle staining on the glass.
Aroma
Intensely aromatic, featuring blackberry cobbler, black cherry, and ripe plum layered with dried sage, camphor, sweet tobacco, cinnamon stick, and vanilla bean.
Palate
Full-bodied, dry and brimming with ripe dark fruit on entry, with boysenberry, black currant, and black plum followed by notes of new leather, dried herbs, mocha and cedar on the midpalate that add depth and structure. Refined, velvety tannins and balanced acidity carry the wine into a long, complex finish marked by lingering dark berry, baking spice, vanilla, dark chocolate, and toasted oak.
