Vintage and Winemaker’s Notes:
The color of this wine is very dark ruby. The aroma has layers of depth, hinting of dark cherry, black currant, blackberry and cassis. These forward fruit components in the aroma are further complexed with a hint of juniper berry and mincemeat pie. The bouquet is reminiscent of dark chocolate, cedar, cinnamon, and clove. With flavor that is a quite pleasant dark cherry dominance, the finish is very long and complimented by mature, smooth tannins.

- Intense ruby color with an appealing nose of cherries, strawberries and ripe plums. Smooth taste of cherries, bittersweet chocolate and vanilla oak, with subtle coffee and clove flavors. Two years of bottle age creates a wine to enjoy today or in the future. Alcohol: 13.5%
