Five years in, and this wine is still very much alive. Concentrated red-currant and black-cherry aromas meet with vanilla, gingerbread and crushed violet on the lavish nose. The palate is also lush, proving soft in structure with full-bodied flavors of black cherry, milk chocolate, red flowers and baking spice.

A luscious and supple red, with rich, beefy notes to the ripe dark plum and cherry tart flavors. Mocha and dark chocolate details show on the moderately tannic finish. Drink now through 2020. 844 cases made.
