Power and elegance, with a deep purple color. Ripe blackberry and black plum aromas are complemented by notes of cedar, cracked pepper, violets, flint, and charcuterie. Full bodied, with velvety tannins balanced by a fresh acidity that keeps the wine light on its feet. Black fruit, peppery spice, and touch of incense mingle on the palate, melding seamlessly on a long finish.
