Aromas of blackberry, cassis and green tea, with hints of sage and pepper. Flavors include berries, cassis, sage and cedar-tobacco that is reminiscent of a fine box of cigars! The tight texture highlights the balance of tannin and acidity that carries the flavors to a long finish. This wine will benefit from time in your cellar, and can be enjoyed right now or for the next 8-10 years.
