A Bordeaux-style blend with opulent Napa fruit, layering currant, plum, and blackberry over mocha, espresso, oak, and a hint of anise or licorice. Deep in color and silky on the palate, with thick berries and leather giving way to a long, smooth finish that pairs beautifully with a rich steak.

Summary
Bright, ruby red in complexion with a lively perfume of crushed boysenberry, spring flowers, crème de cassis, and a hint of toast. Lush flavors of blackberry tart and ripe plum lead to a juicy mid-palate mix of currant, mocha and dark chocolate. Well-integrated, polished tannins are present on the finish, which linger effortlessly with just the right amount of power and intensity.
