Layered elegant aromatics of red plum, marionberry, vanilla and spice, followed by a hint of floral and minerality. The palate delivers a lush layer of plum and dried cherries, followed by notes of cocoa powder, sage and lingering spice. This wine is very elegant with fine tannins and a well-balanced mouth feel.
