Brooding crimson in complexion flanked by a ruby band, the wine is transportational in the nose with telltale mineral notes and signature aromatics. Earth laden fruits, sweet oak, cassis and garrigue perfume and command further examination. Hauntingly dark and dense upon entry, flavors of currant, ripe plum, boysenberry, sarsaparilla and black cherry dominate. Concurrently, an elegant juxtaposition of florals, anise and orange peel deliver equal voice. Soft tannins compliment the intensity with a silky mouthfeel while uplifted with a refreshing backbone of saline acidity that lingers indefinitely.
