flavors. Committed to producing the highest quality estate wines without compromise, we

future generations.

Winemaker’s Note: Deep shades of reds and purples commence this wine. Luscious ripe black cherry with some notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, coffee, and toasted oak combine with a hint graphite. Flavors of rich black plum and chocolate, coupled with subtle raspberry and toasted vanillin barrel. A smooth, silky palate with elegant tannins presents this wine.
