Deep, glistening ruby-red. Cherry, red currant, pipe tobacco and floral and vanilla accents on the expressive nose. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry, red berry, spicecake and candied rose flavors and a sweetening mocha flourish. Finishes very long and gently chewy, with a repeating cherry note and fine-grained tannins adding gentle grip. This is quite a successful wine given the challenges of the vintage.

Crisp acidity livens up the cherry and berry notes of this plush, harmonious red, with spice, cedar and graphite details chiming in on the plush finish. Drink now through 2027. 8,191 cases imported.
