Tasting Notes
Ruby red with purple highlights.
Elegant on the nose, with aromas of cherries and plums and an enticing warm, spiced, and smoky sensation.
The palate is rich and generous, with juicy cherry and plum fruit and meaty, spicy notes beneath. Soft oak tannins add an extra dimension to the texture.
A refreshing smack of fruity acidity on the finish gives plenty of definition to the ripe fruit.
