The sumptuous, garnet red color of our third vintage is reflective of its opulent dark red fruit character. Notes of juicy, ripe blackberry, deep cherry, exotic clove and nutmeg leap from the glass, leading to a deep yet fresh palate. Purple plum, cassis and black tea blend with whiffs of light toast and a dusting of refined tannins. Boysenberry, baking spice, currants, and sinfully rich Dutch cocoa enhance a clean finish that begs for another sip.
