TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER
“It opens with rich aromas of dark fruit, clove, and a subtle touch of toasted vanilla. On the palate, it offers a bold, opulent entry, with mouth-coating tannins that unveil complex layers of black cherry and blackberry. Hints of vanilla and toasty oak enhance the depth, leading to a long, elegant finish with round, supple tannins.”
- Stephanie Pope
