Winemaker Comments
This dark red wine with violet hues has an elegant and fragrant nose with rich and ripe aromas of black Doris plum, blueberry and light spice with hints of coffee and black forest. Well, balanced tannins provide an incredible earthy palate displaying black forest, coffee, spice, liquorice, and olives, line with the fruit, and soft, ripe acidity enlivens the fruit sweetness as it carries to a long, lingering finish of black plums.
