Wow – a plush texture belies the sturdy structure and lower alcohol content in this gorgeous wine, composed of a Chambertin (Burgundy) clone. Black cherry, blackberry, fall spice, soft dried herbs and a fair amount of oak char are still folding together, but this will turn into a soulful beauty with a few years in your cellar.
