Vibrant ruby in color, this wine erupts from the glass with aromas of sweet cinnamon, cola and cherry. There is a charming delicacy here, with flavors of dried rose petal, cherry and berry pie filling on a midweight palate. A captivating dance between the snappy tannin structure and the lively acidity of this wine lead to a very pleasurable finish.

Broad and languid in feel, with sous-bois, black tea and singed mesquite notes hanging over a core of gently mulled red and black cherry fruit through the silky, elegant finish. This is delicious but just a bit shy on energy. Drink now through 2027. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 26,000 cases made.
