This wine has a fantastic bouquet of cassis, raspberry, blackberry with nuances of spice, vanilla, and espresso. The full-bodied palate has suave tannins with well delineated notes of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, vanilla, dark chocolate, cedar, and spice. The wine shows a deft balance between the fruit extract, refreshing acidity, and moderately grippy tannins. The wine finishes with lovely notes of cassis, black cherry, and earth. Drinks well now but will improve over the next 5-8 years. Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Mourvedre, Grenache.
