Tasting Notes:

Ripe blackberries, black cherry, licorice and a touch of toasted oak. A broad mouthfeel is paired with an ultra-smooth texture on the palate, delivering chocolate-covered blueberries and blackberry tart with hints of charcoal grilling. Silky tannins frame the incredibly smooth finish.
