There’s so much concentrated spiced plum fruit on the nose of this wine that it leads you to believe that you’re about to experience something simple, fleshy and fat, but the palate delivers a taste bud delight of complexity, singing acidity and a long finish. Black cherry, leaf, dry earth, mild mushroom and soft fall spice go on and on after the liquid is gone. Bravo! A Double Gold Award winner at the 2016 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
