“A savoury red wine leading with blue and black fruits, violets, leather and tobacco spice. Velvety tannins carry a cocoa powder intensity, while graphite-laced minerality drives the full-bodied finish. Sourced from an 11-hectare site planted in rocky soils atop Spring Mountain.”
“Spiced and meaty character here with dried cherries, blackberries, vanilla, licorice and moist earth. Medium- to full-bodied with velvety and polished tannins. Sleek and dark-fruited with a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.”
