Beautiful, clean juicy red black and blue fruits cloaked in oak. What makes this Bordeaux blend Italian? No green notes, and a refreshing zip of acid. Long finish emphasizes fruit and lush texture instead of vanillan oak.

Seductive, unabashedly dark fruit forward, blueberries boysenberry sauce, some red currant. Vanilla bean scented and fully ripe integrated tannins. The structure is intact and in the middle ground as opposed to the fire or aft- just shy of voluptuous in a very good way. A real pleasure to drink. Great spot it’s in right now.

Blueish ruby with ruby pink rim. Highly aromatic- black cherry, bark, earth, vanilla, red roses. Palate is intense, attacks with dark cherries and resolves earthy, charred toast and charred meat. Tannins grip tightly around bay leaf and black tea notes as red cranberry and black fruit come in and out in waves, along with cherry cola. Complex, earthy, and intense.
