Tasting Notes
Deep purple color. Delicate, interesting, toasty butter aromas of roasted nuts, berry pie crust and brown butter with a supple, tangy, dryish medium body and an appealing, medium-length blood orange, apple skin, baking spices, and cedar finish with dusty tannins. A wonderfully balanced, elegant and layered red blend.
