Vivid ruby red in color, the wine is perfumed with intriguing aromas of rose petal, bitter cherry, mineral notes, and a hint of sweet spice. Opening with verve and energy, the palate is treated to intense red and black fruit flavors with a generous core of stewed raspberry, cola, and forest floor. The tannins are chewy and lush yet held in balance with a bright acidic note that fleshes out for a lengthy finish.
