This wine opens with red and black fruits, new leather and chocolate. Hints of caramel, tobacco leaf and blackberry round out mouthfeel. The palate is power and elegance, with silky ripe tannins and a balanced, lingering finish.

Deep ruby with violet reflections and a dense core. Blackberry, cassis, and red plum with accents of leather, caramel, cocoa, and tobacco leaf. Full and structured with layers of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice; silky tannins and balanced acidity provide a seamless texture. Long and polished, echoing black fruit, mocha, and a touch of oak spice By Jeremy Nickel, in loving memory of his father and legendary vintner, Gil.
