2018 Estate Chambourcin
Medium violet color. Aromas and flavors of black raspberry, leather, and herbs de provence with a supple, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, compelling, medium-length finish conveying impressions of black plum, grilled meat, black cherry, and cedar with well-integrated tannins and no oak flavor. A red that is bright and light-on-its-feet with dark fruit and savory notes; a great food wine.
