A deep garnet color with a vibrant ruby edge. On the nose, a captivating bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry is seamlessly layered with notes of violet, graphite, cedar, and a touch of vanilla bean. As the wine opens, more complex aromas emerge—hints of crushed tobacco, dark chocolate, and fresh mint. The palate is beautifully structured, with a medium to full body that is both supple and powerful. The ripe dark fruit—blackcurrant, plum, and boysenberry—is complemented by savory undertones of fresh herbs, black olive, and a dash of bay. Silky, fine-grained tannins provide excellent texture, while vibrant acidity lends freshness and precision. Drink now–2045
