“A complex blend of five different varietals, the wine is a lush, dark ruby color, indicating a serious, yet still vibrant wine. The nose suggests equal parts fruit, savor, & spice, eliciting thoughts of plum, licorice & a touch of ground coffee. The palate reflects on this, showing dark fruits at first, before soon giving way to lighter red fruits, such as strawberry & raspberry, which carry to the end. it finishes with a touch of spice & raw earth. Throughout it is soft with a slight presence of tannins, which is quickly countered by an elevated acidity.”
