About This Product
Tasting Notes:
This ruby and garnet hued wine sparkles in the glass. The nose presents itself with an earthy spiciness layered with stone fruits such as plum, and black cherry and married with hints of cola nut, strawberry and orange peel. The fleshier fruits become more pronounced in the nose as the wine warms and opens up in the glass. The attack on the mouth is fruit forward with bright acidity and silky yet substantial tannins. All of this is nicely balanced with the smoky notes from the French oak.
