A super fragrant expression with citrus peel and bright red cherries, as well as fragrant hard-spice and forest-wood notes. Very plush and fleshy palate with impressive concentration of blueberry and cherry flavors. Long, commanding finish. Drink or hold.

A lovely red, refined and generous, with vibrant black cherry flavors accented by wildflower, orange peel and dusky spice, building structure toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2030.

Vivid ruby-red. Assertive scents of ripe red berries, candied rose and baking spices; a smoky mineral element emerges with aeration. Silky, sweet and fleshy on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry, cherry cola and floral pastille flavors complemented by a hint of star anise. In a juicy, graceful style, showing impressive clarity and smooth, rounded tannins on the long, floral-tinged finish.

Lush aromas of orange blossoms and rose petals lead to a full palate with baking spices and sweet chocolate highlights. Black cherry fruit anchors it all, and the mix of cherries and chocolate will be a welcoming beacon to lovers of high-end cacao. That's not to call it candied or sweet, just detailed, textural and absolutely delicious.
