Tasting Profile

Bright ruby red with lifted aromas of violet, lilac, blood orange, redcurrant, cherries, and strawberries. Rich and sensual with tremendous depth, the palate delivers dark fruit, leather, spice, tobacco, and menthol in a sumptuous layered expression. Smoothly textured with polished tannins, bright acids, vibrant floral accents, and appealing chalkiness on the long finish.
