Tasting Notes
"This bass-noted wine first exhibits aromas of violet, rich black earth and graphite, then cassis, red plum and dark chocolate. The entry is surprisingly lithe within the wine's ample structure, offering both generosity and gravitas. The tannins are ripe and chocolaty within a lengthy finish; expect immediate enjoyment as well as superb cellaring results." - Tom Peffer, Atalon Winemaker
