Winemaker Notes
Appearance
A deep, bricky red with garnet highlights, showcasing its richness and aging potential.
Aromas
Big and spicy, the nose opens with layers of vanilla, clove, and mocha, gradually revealing brambly black cherry and currant as the wine evolves in the glass.
Palate
Expansive and layered, the palate unfolds slowly, guided by cool-climate acidity and structured tannins. Wild cherry and elderberry take center stage, followed by notes of cassis, black licorice, and wild sage. The extended barrel aging enhances depth and texture, creating a seamless, well-integrated experience.
Finish
Elegant and tapering, the finish lingers with refined tannins and hints of dark fruit and spice. While already beautifully structured, this wine will continue to evolve and gain complexity with a few more years in the bottle.
