Brooding in its aromatic profile, this wine exudes black cherry & black raspberry aromas, along with hints of rose petals, lavender fused with clove, anise, & allspice. The palate is saturated with black cherry & has a very broad, loamy, earth-driven sensibility. A subtle sensation of stoniness in the mid-palate melds into a refreshing tea-like finish. The tannins are plentiful but have a polish that will please many different palates & suit a vast array of cuisines.
