A rather mineral and spicy red with medium to full body, showing blackberries and black walnuts. There's a deep, polished tannin backbone to this. Racy and fine.

Reveals ripe plum and blackberry fruit that meld nicely with hints of anise, black tea and singed alder. The focused and fine-grained finish has a late savory sparkle for range. Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
