Tasting Notes:

“Exquisitely precise flavors of blackberry and cassis unfold along the palate with scents of cigar box and orange liqueur soaring along the upper register of the olfactory. There is a lithe, almost gravity defying agility in the way the lush tannin play out along the long finish.” – Christopher Tynan, Director of Winemaking
