Tasting Notes

Concentrated notes of blackcurrant, black cherry and pencil shavings are apparent immediately in the glass. An elegant wine unfolds, with aromas of black berries, tea leaves, and baking spices. The palate is complex and layered with pure blackcurrant fruit. A graphite core brings length and minerality to the wine. Fine tannins and well-integrated acidity speak of the aging potential of this wine.

Blend Information

In The Vineyard

About The Harvest

In The Cellar
