This bold & captivating wine opens with effusive floral aromas of violet and hyacinth intermingled with hints of powdered chocolate, black licorice, freshly ground coffee beans and Santa Rosa plums, creating a sophisticated and soulful bouquet that is characteristic of the 2016 vintage. The palate is expansive and expressive, showing a completeness and depth. The entry exposes juicy blackberry and black cherry along with defined flavors of morel mushroom, crushed raspberry and sassafras, supported by fine grained tannins that lead into a velvety finish with the essence of dark chocolate lingering on your palate.
