Bright with a deep ruby red center. The nose is upfront with aromas of red fruit, oak spice and white pepper. Bold, full-bodied the wine is perfumed with flavors of poached plums, pencil shavings and rounded off with a distinct salinity. Bold tannins and beautifully textured, the palate is balanced and complex concluding with a long rich finish. An age worthy wine that will delight now and for years to come.
