Garnet color. Aromas of cassis custard pie, chocolate nut brownie, and pencil shavings with a full body and a long black raspberry jam on frosted scone, choke cherry chutney, and spiced nuts finish. A super ripe and juicy Petit-Verdot-led Napa red blend with nice depth and polish; make sure to aerate and let this open up for more complexity.
