There’s a forward warm and spicy character to this dark, brooding wine, with notes of brambly berry and plum that are accented by hits of cocoa, violet and lavender. The creamy, medium-weight palate boasts soft but structured tannins and a crushed satin texture, with hints of leather and bittersweet chocolate that linger on the close.
