Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This wine immediately entices you with intense aromas of black pepper, black cherry, plum, and fruit leather. Those are quickly followed by an earthy, graphite quality, which then gives way to something sweeter—oak, which comes through on the nose as brown sugar cookies, blueberry muffin, and tootsie roll. Wonderfully concentrated and consistent onto the palate. You’ll also pick up an herbal spice, not unlike a Black Manhattan. The finish is of black licorice and grape soda. Inviting. Fascinating. Uncommon.
