Winemaker’s Notes: The aroma is concentrated, offering notes of cherry, plum, blackberries, and a violet. This full-bodied wine features firm yet well-integrated tannins that frame a juicy core of ripe black fruit. It is a youthful wine that is enjoyable now but will continue to develop beautifully with bottle age.
