WINEMAKER’S NOTES
Dominating aromatics abound without effort—notes of blackberry pie, black plum, sage and lilac come from the glass. A flooding sensation on
entry drives dark fruits onto the mid-palate with touches of savory, fennel and licorice as complements. Long on the finish, the espresso bean and
continued concentration of blackberry throughout fades slowly with gentle and soft tannins.
