Inky and garnet red in color, this wine shows complexity and strength.  Savory aromatics lead with notes of cedar barbeque, pink peppercorns, and caramelized sugar on a blackberry pie. The tannins are broad and dominating the palate upfront, while the acidity comes in later to extend the wine’s length.  The velvety tannin structure creates an alluring texture throughout the palate.  Harvested later in the season, this wine shows the intention and power of a vine which utilizes the entire growing season for developing.
