Luscious and deep wine with a deep, dark plum color and a rich, bold fruit flavor profile. The nose is led by by suggestions of ripe cherries and sweet spice, with a trace of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and smooth, with soft tannins and a captivating balance of fruitiness. The tail is agreeable and lingering, with a elegant dryness that leaves the mouthfeel feeling clean and refreshed.
