Deep, vivid red. Spice-accented cherry and black raspberry aromas show very good clarity and take on succulent herb and floral nuances with air. Smooth and appealingly sweet, offering cherry cola and dark berry flavors that show very good clarity and back-end lift. Velvety tannins add gentle grip to the long, supple finish, which echoes the cherry and floral notes.

Concentrated yet energetic in style, offering appealingly sweet red and dark berry, vanilla and floral pastille flavors that show no rough edges.

Brilliant red. Spice-accented aromas of ripe red berries, pungent flowers and succulent herbs are sharpened by a smoky mineral element.

Sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering appealingly sweet raspberry and cherry cola flavors supported by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Shows fine defnition and spicy lift on a long, smooth finish shaped by well-judged tannins. 50% new oak.
