| Winemaker's Comments |
Aromas of vanilla and oak, along with black cherry, wild berries and eucalyptus, rise from the glass as this wine is poured. Flavors of black cherry continue in the mouth along with cassis, plum, and a subtle smokey note. As the wine opens up
the black cherry notes build over time. The soft, yet complex texture and long fruit finish show the grace and power of the fruit from our vineyard.
