Dark black with red hues, this wine is full-bodied with rich flavors of
chocolate covered cherries, ripe plum, cassis and spice. The influence of
aging the wine for 18 months in new American oak imparts subtle hints of
vanilla and nutmeg that yield to the dominant fruit characteristics, ending
with a long elegant finish. Accessible now, this wine will continue to age
gracefully.
Notes:
"...aromas of currants, berries, dusty earth, roasted vanilla bean and creme caramel are entirely accessible now with nothing held in reserve..."
Earthy flavors such as herb roasted chicken, grilled pork, caramelized onions, eggplant, sautéed greens, rosted vegetables and aged Jack and Gouda cheese enhance the fruit flavors in this wine.
