"Deep ruby-crimson center with purple reflections and moderate staining tears. The wine is complete and balanced, beginning with aromas of plum, black cherry, blackberry, and peppered blueberry, which are complemented by black fig, licorice, and mocha. Round and plush on the palate with a very fine tannin profile around the edges, it’s silky and fine, with attractive violet and black-olive tones lingering on the finish." —winemaker
