Velvety in texture and full in body, this moderately tannic wine is packed with milk chocolate, black cherries and vanilla flavors. It is quietly powerful, and its rich chocolaty character lingers on the finish.

Crisp pear, lime and grapefruit-pith aromas combine for a fresh and zesty entry to the nose of this bottling. The palate sizzles with acidity and grips with a chalky texture, giving way to grass, green-pear and green-pepper flavors.
