NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Arkenstone Estate Obsidian is a bold and full-bodied red wine with aromas of black cherry, graphite, and crushed stone.On the palate, the wine is intense and concentrated, with flavors of blackberry, mocha, and baking spice. The tannins are firm and structured, leading to a long and lingering finish. As the wine opens up, more complexity and nuances of dark fruit, tobacco, and earth come to the fore. Enjoy this powerful and expressive red wine with a steak dinner.
