“(15% whole clusters and 50% new oak): Ruby-red. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes cherry liqueur, woodsmoke and potpourri, with suave vanilla and mocha qualities adding depth. Juicy, sharply focused cherry and black raspberry flavors show wonderful intensity and become spicier with air. Finishes with intense minerality and outstanding length, leaving bitter cherry and floral pastille notes behind.”
