Bold & precise, the wine exemplifies the Coombsville AVA by expressing the volcanic soils that run throughout the estate vineyard. A vivid violet rim surrounds an opaque core while penetrating aromas emerge from initial cassis & powdered chocolate, expanding to graphite & Herbs de Provence. An immediate burst of dark cherry & ripe blackberry intermingle with savoury herbs & slate-like minerality against a backdrop of balanced acidity & firm tannins that brings tension to the powerful finish.
