Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits, floral and smoky oak, aged 3 months in oak, and another 6 months in stainless. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum flavors with herb notes, cacao and tobacco notes. Fine rustic tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and an earthy spice character.
