Tasting Notes:
A rich, full-bodied wine, it will reward those with the patience to bottle age.
Layers blackberry, blueberry and boysenberry are present on the nose and palate.
Nuances of smoke, vanilla and cinnamon combine with notes of oak to add complexity.
This gives way to a long, lingering finish highlighted by nice balance and acidity.
Approachable now, this wine will continue to improve in the bottle for 7-10 years.
