The nose on this wine is a focal point, but by no means they wine’s only inviting quality. Aromas of blackberry jam and spice dominate. On the palate it is full-bodied and rich without being weighty or overwrought, with beautifully integrated tannins and a mouthfeel of refined elegance. It finishes with a lingering spicy aftertaste, inviting another sip. And another, and another.
