Tasting Profile
| Look: | Garnet hues deepen as you look toward the burnt orange heart of the wine. After a hearty swirl, skinny legs fall from high up on the glass wall. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Bing cherry juice, softly spiced raspberry candy, bramble and earthy aromas leap from the glass. After a few minutes of swirling, the wine reveals aromas of black cherry, flinty gunpowder, subtle sweetwoods and a hint of toasty vanilla. |
| Taste: | Cherry, wind strawberry, braised plum and subtle cranberry are out in front. As the wine breathes, it opens up and reveals follow-on flavors of cherry liquor, sweetwood, subtle bramble, silvery gunpowder and subtle dried leaves. |
| Finish: | Very long and very clean with sweet fruit that slowly fades to earthy spice and delightfully woodsy components. A subtle dryness gradually spreads around the entire palate, reminding you to take another delicious mouthful. |
