“A firm and savory style, with notes of slate and pepper to the dried cherry, dark currant and forest floor flavors. Accents of chocolate nibs and tobacco lengthen out on the finish. Bonarda and Malbec.” – Wine Spectator
Tasting Note: “Shows elegant notes of spice aromas, violets and mature blueberries. The palate has great body, powerful but balanced. The secrets of this blend incite enjoyment while still retaining mystery and intrigue. Dense and dark, with intriguing aromas of black fruit, coffee and wonderful earthy notes. On the palate, it flows smoothly with rounded tannings, complete and lasting for a long time with echoes of ripe cooked fruit.” – Winemaker’s notes
